What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 28 January 2025

This is a nurturing, welcoming school. Pupils understand the school's values of learn together, play together and aspire together. Pupils learn to look after their physical and mental health. Staff support pupils through a positive behaviour approach. Relationships between pupils and staff are strong. Pupils feel safe in school. They know adults will help them. Social skills are developed through the daily 'Family Dining' experience at lunchtime. Staff have high expectations for pupils' behaviour and achievement. From the start, in the early years, most pupils achieve well. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are supported effectively. Lessons are adapted so that all pupils can join in with the learning. Pupils are well prepared for life beyond their school by learning about different faiths and cultures. Pupils are excited about whole school visits to the seaside and residential trips. Pupils develop their interests and talents by learning to play musical instruments and taking part in competitive sports. Pupils develop as proud, respectful citizens in school and out. For example, older pupils help out in the 'reading army' and community fund raising events.

What the school should improve

  • In a small number of subjects, changes to the curriculum are recent and need time to embed. In these subjects, teachers do not effectively check what pupils know and remember. The school should continue to implement the planned changes to the curriculum so that teachers can assess and build upon what pupils learn.
  • Pupils do not always get the right feedback to address common mistakes. This means that some basic errors are repeated over time. The school should ensure that pupils are given suitable feedback to address the errors they are making through commonly understood procedures.
