What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 December 2024
Pupils enjoy attending this friendly and nurturing school. This shows through their smiles and their keenness to learn. Most pupils never miss a day of learning through absence. Pupils demonstrate the school's values well, through their respect and hard work. They love celebrating the success of others during the popular trophy assemblies. The school expects all pupils to achieve and behave well. Pupils understand their school behaviour charter well. They show great kindness to each other, treating others like they would like to be treated. Older pupils look out for younger pupils, such as the Year 6 lunchtime buddies who eat their lunch with the Reception children. Pupils learn and achieve very well in this school. The most recent provisional results for the end of key stage 2 were significantly higher than the national picture in English and mathematics. Pupils are very much ready for the next stage of their education. Pupils appreciate the many activities that support their talents and interests, such as street dance, choir and computing clubs. Pupils in Years 3 and 4 are learning to play the keyboard. The school makes sure that all pupils can take part in these activities.
What the school should improve
- Occasionally, teachers do not identify how well pupils are learning in lessons. This means that some pupils do not achieve as well as they could. The school should continue the work they are doing to support teachers to be able to assess and reshape learning fully effectively in lessons, drawing on the best practice across the school.
