What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 22 October 2024
Pupils are happy at this calm and nurturing school. There is a warm welcome waiting for pupils each morning. Pupils are proud of their school and value the learning and support that they receive. Pupils conduct themselves well in lessons and when moving around school. From the time that they start in the early years, children quickly learn routines and settle in well to school life. They are keen to meet the high standards that the school sets for their behaviour. The school helps pupils to deepen their learning and produce good quality work. Pupils benefit from strong teaching of reading that helps them to read well. On some occasions, teaching is not adapted to support pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) as well as it could. Pupils benefit from a range of additional activities linked to the school's focus on helping others. Pupils have raised money for a number of charities in the UK and in Kenya. They have helped with a local food bank and in visiting and sending messages to a local care home for the elderly. This develops their sense of responsibility for others.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, teachers do not consistently ensure that the work they provide for pupils is adapted so that they can learn the curriculum. As a result, some pupils do not achieve as well as they could. The school should continue to develop teaching adaptations so that all pupils achieve and learn well across the whole curriculum.
- Some pupils are persistently absent too often. This means that they miss out on the education and wider opportunities that the school provides. The school should continue the work it has begun to ensure that persistent absence, particularly of vulnerable pupils, reduces further.
