What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 May 2025
Pupils at the school are safe and happy. The school has high ambitions for pupils. These are realised. Relationships are at the heart of the school. This underpins every aspect of school life. Staff relationships with pupils are nurturing and celebratory. This consistently fosters trust and encouragement. Pupils behave well, reflecting a culture of kindness and mutual respect. There is a strong partnership between parents and carers and the school, built on open communication and mutual respect. Parents are empowered to support learning at home, particularly around reading for pleasure. This enhances pupils' literacy and encourages a love of learning beyond the classroom. Pupils access a wide range of inclusive clubs with adjustments made for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). This promotes belonging and confidence, ensuring that all pupils can develop their talents and interests. Pupils learn about road and internet safety through the curriculum and during assemblies. This supports them to stay physically and digitally safe in everyday life. Pupils understand the impact of waste and the importance of recycling. This supports environmental awareness and nurtures a sense of global responsibility. Pupils understand the difference between right and wrong. This guides their behaviour and supports strong character development.
What the school should improve
- At times, the strategies the school uses to support pupils to learn the curriculum are not being implemented in some subjects. As a result, some pupils do not develop a secure understanding of the curriculum in these subjects. The school should ensure that approaches to support pupils in learning the ambitious curriculum are consistently applied across all subjects so all pupils know more and remember more over time.
