What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 March 2025
The school is an oasis of calm. It is a safe sanctuary for pupils. They enter the school gates with big smiles on their faces. Pupils are eager to learn and to do their best. This begins in the early years where children's love of learning is harnessed. They joyously engage in activities and flourish. Pupils told inspectors that people work together and help each other. They benefit from close relationships with staff who know them and their families very well. The school is determined to ensure that pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve highly. Most pupils achieve well from their starting points. The school's values underpin all that it does. Pupils are proud to be part of this close-knit school that 'loves, believes, achieves'. The school teaches pupils how to behave well. Pupils listen attentively to teachers. They follow instructions quickly and enthusiastically. Pupils behave extremely well. Pupils thrive in this kind community where the school's expectations of pupils' behaviour and academic success are high. They are caring and compassionate towards one another. Pupils enjoy residential trips where they develop characteristics such as bravery and resilience. They enjoy musical activities such as choir and some pupils recently performed in a national singing event.
What the school should improve
- The school's writing curriculum has not given sufficient focus to grammar, punctuation and spelling. Weaknesses in these aspects of pupils' learning hamper the quality of their writing. The school should strengthen its approach to teaching writing and ensure that pupils are given sufficient time to practise and apply their knowledge of the fundamental writing skills.
- The number of pupils, particularly disadvantaged pupils, who are persistently absent from school is high. These pupils are missing out on vital parts of the curriculum and personal development opportunities. The school should strengthen its approach to tackling persistent absence to ensure that pupils attend school frequently.
