What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 January 2025
This is a school where pupils feel welcome, are happy and know that they are cared for. Building strong relationships is of crucial importance to the school. Pupils trust the adults. They know adults will listen and help whenever needed. From the very start of the Reception Year, children thrive in this nurturing environment. School leaders, including governors, have high expectations for all pupils to achieve well regardless of any barriers to their learning that they may have. Pupils rise to the challenge. They are keen to learn. Pupils listen and contribute well. Their behaviour in lessons is exemplary. Pupils cherish the wide variety of experiences that the school provides. They value opportunities to visit different places, including trips to local woods to build dens or going to museums, art galleries or the theatre. Pupils in Year 6 said that their residential was the highlight of their time in school as it enabled them to take part in activities that they had never experienced before. Going down the zip wire was a firm favourite. Class ambassadors spoke enthusiastically about their role to see how the new school values of ambition, integrity and well-being are understood and to gather pupils' views.
What the school should improve
- The school has recently adapted and changed the sequence of learning in some foundation subjects because, historically, knowledge was not ordered sufficiently well. As a result, older pupils are unable to connect current learning with what they have learned in the past. The school should ensure that knowledge is sequenced well in foundation subjects so that pupils learn equally well across all of their subjects.
