What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 26 June 2024

The school has two sites; pupils are proud to attend one school. The school carefully plans opportunities so that pupils know they are part of one school. For example, pupils from Moorfield and Heath sites enjoy meeting up for a picnic at the local park. Pupils enact the values of the school. Pupils are keen to explain the differences in their school community and to welcome pupils who start the school at different stages. This reflects their love for one another. Pupils respond well to the high expectations the school has for them. They achieve well at the end of key stage 2. They understand the high expectations for their behaviour. If they fall short of these expectations, they respond positively to the support the school gives them. Pupils know that bullying sometimes happens, but know the school takes this very seriously. They say they feel safe in this inclusive school. Pupils enjoy a wide range of educational visits. Children in the early years enjoy visiting a local museum. Pupils in Year 4 enjoy learning about crime and punishment during their visit to a police museum. The school carefully plans visits to enhance pupils' understanding of the world and give them a broad experience.

What the school should improve

  • Some pupils have not developed the stamina to write at length by the end of key stage 2. They do not achieve as well as they should in writing over time. The school should continue to implement and evaluate the new curriculum to ensure pupils' outcomes in writing improve.
  • Some pupils' attendance is not as high as it should be. These pupils miss out on important learning and experiences the school provides. The school should continue its work with families and other agencies to improve pupils' attendance at school.
