What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 6 February 2024
Pupils are proud ambassadors for their welcoming and inclusive school. They show impeccable manners, politely welcoming all, as they open doors and greet everyone with a smile. Mental health and well-being are prioritised. Pupils speak with delight and enthusiasm about how much leaders and staff care about them. If they have any worries, help is never far away. For some, this involves valuable time in 'The Nest' for nurture support. Others enjoy learning breaks or play therapy with caring and knowledgeable staff who help them to get back on track. Compassion and forgiveness ensure a fresh start every day in this caring and kind community. The school has high expectations for every pupil to do their best. Despite this, in 2023, key stage 2 pupils' achievement in mathematics and writing was much lower than the national average. The school has taken robust action to address this, and current pupils' achievement is more secure. Pupils are fulfilling the school's high ambitions in calm and happy classrooms. Meaningful leadership roles, such as playtime buddy and computing ambassador, help pupils to thrive with responsibility. The new 'eco council' aims to boost environmental awareness at school. Pupils love singing, and relish opportunities to perform. The residential trip is a highlight for pupils in Year 6.
What the school should improve
- Since the pandemic, the school has continued to review and improve the curriculum. A few subjects are less well-embedded than the strongest. This means that pupils may not learn key content securely across the whole curriculum. The school must ensure that teaching enables pupils to learn and remember essential knowledge long term across every subject.
