What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 March 2026
Children, from the youngest 2-year-olds to the oldest 11-year-olds, enjoy attending this school. The school provides a nurturing environment for learning. All are welcome at this inclusive school. Children's individual needs are at its heart. Pupils who need help to manage their behaviour, including those who attend the specially resourced provision, are supported exceptionally well. They behave appropriately in lessons and at breaktimes. Rare instances of bullying are addressed immediately and sensitively. The school has high expectations of pupils both socially and academically. The youngest children get off to a great start in the early years. Overall, pupils' academic outcomes are improving. However, some pupils are late for school in the morning. These pupils miss out on important teaching. Consequently, they do not make the progress they should through the curriculum. The school's curriculum is enriched by educational visits, such as the Year 6 residential visit to London. Pupils benefit from the wide range of extra-curricular clubs. They take an active part in school leadership through the pupil parliament, the prefect system and the 'eco-warriors' club. Pupils also enjoy socialising together. The 2 silent discos were a particular hit with the pupils during the inspection. School life is enhanced by the extensive involvement of parents and carers. Large numbers attend consultation meetings, reading workshops and breakfasts, phonics sessions, coffee mornings, church-linked celebrations and pupils' performances. Parents appreciate all that the school does. Many are of the view that 'there is a strong sense of community'.
What the school should improve
- Leaders should ensure that their current and successful actions to improve pupils’ punctuality and attendance continue with rigour.
- Leaders should continue to embed strategies to improve the attainment and progress of disadvantaged pupils through the curriculum.
- Leaders should embed their current improvement actions to ensure that gaps in pupils’ knowledge and skills in writing are identified and closed quickly.
