What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 26 June 2024
Pupils enjoy coming to school and they said that they feel safe. The school's values of courage, respect, friendship, love and forgiveness are shown daily through pupils' consideration towards each other.

They listen attentively to their teachers and participate with great enthusiasm. The school wants the best for all pupils. It has high expectations for pupils' achievement, and staff are determined that all pupils will succeed. The majority of pupils achieve well, including those who are disadvantaged. Pupils, including children in the early years, behave equally well during social times. Typically, they play together harmoniously. Pupils know why it is important to respect others, regardless of their background. This helps to make the school a respectful place for all. Pupils have every faith that any concerns that they have will be dealt with successfully by staff. The school is committed to promoting pupils' wider personal development. It provides a broad range of extra-curricular activities, including trips, visits and experiences to enhance pupils' learning of the curriculum. Pupils value the opportunities that they have to become fully involved in the life of the school.
What the school should improve
- In a very small number of subjects, teachers' strategies for assessing how well pupils are learning the intended curriculum are not as effective as they should be. This means that, sometimes, gaps in pupils' knowledge go unchecked. The school should ensure that, in these remaining subjects, teachers are equipped to remedy any misconceptions or gaps in pupils' learning swiftly.
