What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 14 February 2023

Pupils live up to their school motto. They try their best and work hard. Children in the early years make a strong start to their education. The warm and nurturing environment helps them to settle in quickly. Children delight in the many exciting activities that staff provide from a carefully designed curriculum. These help children to learn well. They grow in confidence and independence. Pupils said that teachers are kind. Pupils trust staff to help them with any worries that they may have. On the very rare occasions that bullying happens, leaders deal with it effectively. This helps pupils to feel cared for, happy and safe. Leaders have high expectations for what each pupil should achieve. Most pupils, including those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), achieve well. Pupils talked proudly about what they have learned. Leaders expect pupils to behave well. Pupils are sensible in lessons and as they move around school. They are kind to one another and respectful to adults. Pupils benefit from the extensive range of high-quality opportunities to enrich their learning and support their personal development. Older pupils talked excitedly about the residential visits on offer.

What the school should improve

• In a few subjects, leaders have not been able to find out if the curriculum is helping pupils to learn all that they should across the full key stage. This hinders them from being assured that pupils are knowing more and remembering more over time. Leaders should make sure they gain a full picture of pupils' knowledge across an entire key stage.
