What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 28 January 2025

Pupils thrive in this welcoming and inclusive school. They experience kindness and compassion from experienced, caring staff. Pupils are confident that staff will help them should they need it. Parents and carers are overwhelmingly positive about the work of the school. Pupils typically behave considerately in lessons and around the school. They understand the high expectations of behaviour set by staff. The foundations of this are built in the early years. The school sets high expectations for pupils' learning. This is shown in the way pupils approach their education. For example, children in the early years confidently use technology to record pictures of their modelling clay models, while Year 6 pupils clearly explain how the use of natural resources in the Arctic can increase the wealth of a country. These expectations support pupils in achieving well in national tests and assessments. Pupils benefit from the school's focus on enrichment and personal development. This ensures that pupils grow in knowledge and in character. Pupils enjoy opportunities to engage in activities such as outdoor learning sessions. These foster resilience and teamwork. Leadership roles, such as prefects, librarians and school councillors, encourage and develop responsibility. Pupils leave well prepared for their next steps.

What the school should improve

  • In some areas of the wider curriculum, the school does not always precisely check how well pupils learn. As a result, pupils' gaps in knowledge sometimes go unnoticed. The school should continue to refine its assessment strategies to ensure that any gaps in pupils' knowledge are identified and promptly corrected.
