What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 July 2025
Pupils thrive at this small, caring, close-knit school. Staff know pupils well. Parents and carers praise the school's approach to pupils' well-being. Pastoral care is of a high quality. The school has created a strong ethos of personal growth and mutual respect. Staff and pupils share warm, positive relationships. Bullying is rare. If a pupil has a problem, they say that a member of staff would help to resolve it swiftly. Pupils behave well. They listen to staff and their peers during class discussions. Older pupils support younger ones well in mixed-aged classes. Staff have high expectations of pupils. The curriculum is broad and ambitious. The school is welcoming to all and gives pupils the additional support they need to succeed. In many cases, pupils achieve well. They have the knowledge and skills required for the next stage of their education. The school has ensured its small size does not limit pupils' opportunities or ambitions. A wide variety of enrichment opportunities are on offer, including sports clubs, visits to local engineering firms and residential trips. The student librarians and 'Kindness Ambassadors' fulfil their roles with pride. The school develops pupils into confident, independent and respectful citizens who contribute positively to their school and wider community.
What the school should improve
- The school does not consistently check pupils' knowledge and understanding when selecting new learning activities. This means that pupils do not learn the curriculum as well as they might. The school should ensure that staff adapt new learning more precisely based on what pupils already know and can do.
- In the early years, opportunities for children to develop their literacy and numeracy are more effective in some areas of the provision than others. This impacts how well prepared children are for the next stage of their education. The school should ensure that the intended learning is supported well by precise activity choices and appropriate resources throughout the early years provision.
