What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 15 October 2024

Pupils are immensely proud to attend this vibrant school. They love learning and behave exceptionally well. Pupils live up to the school's high expectations to be 'purple people'. They know that 'being purple' means upholding values, such as respect and teamwork, and always trying their best. At the heart of this school is an unconditional positive regard for all. This is characterised by strong relationships and a caring and inclusive, respectful culture. These foster pupils' sense of belonging. Pupils acquire confidence and a belief that they can succeed, and succeed they do. They achieve well across a broad range of subjects. Pupils leave the school well prepared and confident to embrace the new challenges and opportunities ahead of them. Pupils benefit greatly from the school's exceptional range of extra activities on offer. Enrichment afternoons create enjoyable new experiences, such as playing in a Samba band and learning Spanish. There is something for everyone in the numerous after-school clubs. Special events include the Christmas performances and the Year 6 annual theatre production. These hold lasting memories for pupils and enable them to showcase their talents. Every pupil is supported to 'shine their light' and to find something that kindles their interests.

What the school should improve

  • Currently, there are inconsistencies in the quality of pupils' writing, particularly in the lower part of the school. Typically, some pupils' achievement in this subject is hampered by weak sentence construction, punctuation and spelling. The school needs to embed its new writing strategy and ensure that teachers have the knowledge they need to implement this consistently well.
