What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 May 2025
Pupils are rightly proud of their school and the many opportunities they experience. Warm, supportive relationships feature throughout the school. These help pupils to feel happy and safe in school. Pupils know that they always have someone to talk to and that staff will help them with any problems they have. Staff know pupils well and put pupils' best interests at the heart of all they do. The school has high expectations for pupils. They rise to these and typically achieve well. Pupils behave well. They demonstrate positive and respectful behaviour. Children in the early years learn good routines that prepare them well for their next steps. Older pupils are positive role models. They take on leadership responsibilities, such as 'play leaders' and being part of the 'world family team', which plans the school's community and charity work. Pupils benefit from many enrichment opportunities. They enjoy many trips to places of interest that help them to understand the world around them and bring learning to life. For example, pupils visit different places of worship and visit a range of museums linked to their learning. There are many extra-curricular clubs on offer to nurture talents and interests. There is something for everyone, and many pupils take part.
What the school should improve
- In a small minority of subjects, teaching does not consistently build on what pupils already know. Some pupils have gaps in their knowledge and struggle to recall key knowledge confidently. The school should ensure that teachers check pupils' prior learning and support pupils to make links between concepts securely so that they know and remember more.
