What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 30 April 2024

This is a well-led school where pupils are enthusiastic in their learning. They are proud of their school and make every effort to do well. Expectations of behaviour and work are high. Pupils meet these expectations. They live out the school values as they strive to 'let their light shine'. Pupils behave very well in the classroom and on the playground. Pupils feel happy and safe. Relationships are positive. Pupils know that they can talk to an adult if anything is worrying them. Staff take great care to meet the needs of all pupils. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The school makes sure that it includes all pupils in everything that it does. There is a compelling sense of community at this school. Individual families feel valued within the wider 'family' of the school. Caring support is available for all. Parents and carers hold the school in high regard. They appreciate the quality of education and pastoral care based on strong values. As one parent said, 'Our child is developing into a confident and caring young person under the stewardship of the school.'

What the school should improve

  • Until recently, pupils have not received the support they need to be able to develop their writing skills confidently. Consequently, pupils' writing skills are not as well developed as they could be. The school should ensure that recent changes to how staff teach pupils to write are fully embedded, enabling pupils to write confidently and well.
