What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 June 2025
Pupils are happy and enjoy coming to school each day. They are well supported through the school's nurturing approach. Pupils can share any worries they may have with staff and the class's 'worry monster'. They know that the school will take their concerns seriously as they feel 'staff really listen' to them. This helps pupils to feel safe. Expectations for pupils' achievement are high. Pupils rise to meet these daily. They welcome the challenging work their teachers set for them. Pupils show resilience with their learning and have a healthy attitude to making mistakes. Across the school, pupils behave well. They embody the school's values and show remarkable respect to each other and the staff that are committed to supporting them. Pupils are well prepared for life beyond the school. There are many opportunities for them to develop their interests. They value the array of clubs and enjoy learning a different musical instrument each year. Pupils are proud of their outdoor spaces. They learn about a healthy diet by growing their own vegetables in the allotment. Pupils can enjoy the mindfulness garden if they want to enjoy a quiet space at breaktimes. The eco-council teaches pupils about the importance of looking after their community.
What the school should improve
- At times, teachers' checks on pupils' knowledge and understanding are not as precise as they could be. This means that some pupils move on to more difficult concepts when they have not grasped the foundational knowledge they need. The school should ensure that staff have the skills they need to ensure learning checks are precise and consistent across the school.
