What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 28 January 2025
Pupils love to come to this inclusive school. They consistently meet the school's high expectations. Staff weave the school's values of kindness, forgiveness, respect, honesty, teamwork and courage throughout the day. These values support pupils in how they learn and behave. Pupils show impeccable manners and are considerate of others. They greet adults and visitors with a warm smile or a friendly wave. The school has high ambition for what it expects pupils to achieve, and this is realised in practice. This starts in the early years and builds as pupils move through the school. Pupils rise to these expectations. They show positive attitudes to learning, listen attentively and follow instructions. Pupils work hard and support each other. They show pride in their achievements. Pupils value the opportunities that develop their talents and interests. These include sports, music and creative clubs. The school enriches the curriculum well. Pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural understanding is promoted effectively through experiences such as visits to local places of worship, including the church and mosque. The school's work to improve pupils' attendance is highly effective. As a result, pupils' attendance is well above the national average. Parents and carers appreciate the hard work and dedication shown by staff.
What the school should improve
- The school has not organised or connected knowledge well enough in some of the foundation curriculum subjects. This means that pupils do not achieve consistently well in these subject areas. The trust needs to define clearly the important knowledge that pupils need to learn and ensure that planned activities deepen pupils' knowledge effectively.
