What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 12 November 2024
Pupils flourish at this caring and happy school. Staff ensure that pupils are at the heart of everything they do. The highly positive and supportive ethos permeates everywhere, underpinning the school's values. Pupils feel safe and well looked after. The relationships between staff and pupils are respectful and kind. Pupils know that staff will deal with any worries or concerns they may have. Staff have high expectations for pupils' behaviour and attitudes towards learning. Pupils behave well, are very polite and well mannered. They work hard, achieve well and are ready for the next stage of their education. From the early years, pupils are happy and inquisitive learners. They quickly learn to read fluently and are confident in their learning across the curriculum. The school provides a broad range of wider activities, including theatre visits, learning about nature and wildlife in the outdoor area, visits to local museums and a gymnasium. Pupils meet and learn alongside other pupils from schools across the federation as part of a programme of carefully planned events. Pupils think about others' needs. For example, pupils support a school in Africa through donating books and clothing. These experiences help pupils to build confidence and increase their understanding of the world around them.
What the school should improve
- Occasionally, pupils undertake tasks that do not support them to learn the ambitious curriculum effectively. When this happens, it means that some pupils do not always gain as much depth of knowledge as they could. The school should ensure that the work set consistently enables all pupils to develop detailed knowledge and skills and achieve well over time.
