What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 June 2025
Pupils enjoy attending this small primary school. They know each other well and are kind to each other. Staff have high expectations, and pupils make good progress through the curriculum. The school adapts teaching and learning well for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). This enables all pupils to work together in lessons. The school ensures that pupils mix with other pupils from the federation school and join other schools for sporting events. The school supports pupils during the move to a larger secondary school. Pupils develop leadership skills. The school council are instrumental in carrying out charity work and fundraising events. Play leaders support activities outside, and lunchtime monitors help in the dining hall. Pupils enjoy trips linked to learning, such as visits to the local church and a science museum. Pupils have the opportunity to play musical instruments and attend an orchestra performance. Pupils enjoy writing with purpose. They write poetry, which is presented in the local church. They have created a time capsule for the future. Parents and families are invited into school to see published pieces of writing. Staff have high expectations for the presentation of work and pupils respond to this. Pupils have positive relationships with staff. They behave well and value the praise that they receive. Lessons are rarely disrupted, and pupils respond quickly to staffs' high expectations of behaviour in the classroom and while moving around school.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the knowledge that the school wants pupils to learn is not clear as it is in others. As a result, pupils do not learn the precise knowledge and skills they need. The school should ensure that the important knowledge and skills that they want pupils to learn is mapped out well across all subjects.
- Some aspects of the curriculum do not deepen pupils' understanding of other faiths and cultures as well as they could do. This means that some pupils are not as well prepared for aspects of life in modern Britain as they could be. The school should strengthen these aspects of the curriculum to improve pupils' understanding of different faiths and cultures.
