What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 27 January 2026
The school's culture helps pupils know that they belong. Those from many different countries are welcomed. Pupils are proud that their school is a 'school of sanctuary'. One pupil summed up the views of others, saying, ‘All are welcome here.’ Pupils' needs are identified quickly and accurately. The school develops deep knowledge of them and their families. This knowledge shapes careful support for pupils. Often, the support for pupils' families is pivotal in keeping pupils safe and well cared for. The barriers to learning that many pupils face are removed or reduced. As a result, pupils are ready to learn. They flourish with this high-quality support. Pupils benefit from a consistent set of expectations. They rise to these and behave very well. From the Nursery onwards, children quickly settle to new routines. Children develop the good habits needed for future positive behaviour and success. Pupils learn through positive relationships with staff. Pupils then copy this in their relationships with each other. Bullying is rare. If it happens, the school takes swift and effective action to make sure that it stops. A number of pupils struggle to attend well. They get a lot of support with attendance. When this happens, individual pupils that receive extra support successfully reduce their absence. However, attendance overall remains too low. Pupils enjoy a carefully structured curriculum. It is generally taught well. Pupils enjoy their learning. Some achieve less well in writing. Pupils receive well-considered help in this area. More widely, pupils extend their learning through a range of well-chosen visits. These opportunities significantly enhance and broaden their experiences.
What the school should improve
- The school should develop its attendance systems and procedures so that attendance improves.
- In some subjects, the school should make sure that pupils routinely rehearse important prior knowledge so they remember this knowledge in the long term and fully access new learning.
- Leaders should embed the strategies that they have designed so that outcomes in writing improve.
