What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 23 April 2024

This is a happy and caring school. Everyone is welcome and all pupils and staff are valued. Parents are fulsome in their praise of the school. As one parent put it, 'The school feels like one big happy family, and I am proud to be part of it.' Expectations of pupils' behaviour are high. Children learn the routines and expectations as soon as they join the Reception class. The youngest children demonstrate excellent attitudes to learning. They work and play together happily. This sets the tone for behaviour and conduct as they move through the school. Pupils who suffer from anxiety or anger issues are quickly calmed down through spending time with Lucca, the school's therapy dog. The school works closely with parents. It provides high-quality pastoral support to pupils and their families where needed. The school has formed close community and church links. It hosts 'The Big Breakfast' on a Saturday morning where community members are invited into school and served a free breakfast and pupils enjoy sports and craft activities. Staff have a detailed knowledge of every pupil. This helps them identify and intervene swiftly in situations which place pupils at risk of harm.

What the school should improve

  • A small number of subjects are at an early stage of implementation due to recent curriculum changes. It is too early to detect the impact of the new content introduced or where gaps exist in pupils' knowledge due to the change of programme used. The school should ensure that, in continuing to implement the new curriculum, current learning builds securely on what pupils already know and can do.
  • Pupils' knowledge of fundamental British values is at an early stage of development. As a result, pupils lack an understanding of how these values contribute to their future lives. The school should ensure that pupils are taught about the importance of these values so that they are well-prepared for life in modern Britain.
