What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 13 January 2026

Pupils love being a part of this highly inclusive, accepting and welcoming school. They are proud of their school and appreciate and respect the adults who work with them. They view staff as positive role models and know that they always have time for them. From the moment pupils enter school, their day is full of positivity and warmth. They attend regularly and enjoy coming to school. Pupils enjoy their learning. They work hard and focus. The calm, orderly environment helps with this. Although children have some high-quality interactions, there need to be more opportunities for this in early years. Pupils develop important knowledge quickly. By the time pupils leave school, they are extremely well prepared for the next stage. They achieve very well in national examinations. Where there are barriers to learning, pupils access highly effective support. This helps them to make excellent progress. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities achieve well from their starting points. Leaders are determined that every pupil should succeed. Pupils understand how to deal with bullying and feel confident to do so. They cooperate well with each other. As a result, social times are calm and harmonious. This ensures pupils feel safe. Pupils treat those who are different to themselves with respect, dignity and love. There is a powerful sense of community. This means pupils feel they belong. Pupils value the range of experiences that leaders provide. They go on trips, try new clubs, develop talents and learn important life skills. Leaders have very close relationships with families. Parents and carers speak very highly of the school and appreciate how it goes the extra mile to support their children. Pupils flourish and are thriving because of a consistent, whole-school ethos of love, care and high expectations.

What the school should improve

  • Leaders need to ensure that all staff maximise opportunities for high-quality interactions in the early years so that children's communication and language skills are continually developed across the day.
