What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 June 2025
The vision and values of 'be kind, be curious and be ready' sit at the heart of this school. Pupils are friendly and courteous. They are interested in each other and celebrate the diversity within their school and community. Pupils who join the school partway through the year are quickly made to feel welcome. Positive, nurturing relationships between adults and pupils make pupils feel safe. Pupils behave very well in class and around the school. If anyone falls out, they quickly make friends again. Lessons are calm because pupils are eager to learn. Pupils work hard to meet the school's high expectations and achieve increasingly well across the curriculum. The school's vision is for pupils to experience 'life in all its fullness'. Pupils benefit from excellent opportunities to develop their talents and interests, including many sporting and musical activities. The school choir is especially popular. Pupils speak fondly of the many trips and visits that augment the curriculum and help to develop pupils' resilience and teamwork skills. These range from visits to see how the local dentist works, to a residential in Finland to see what it is like to live in the Arctic Circle. This strategic focus on pupils' personal development is a strength of the school.
What the school should improve
- Provision in the special resource provisions is not consistently well-enough adapted to meet the learning needs of some pupils. As a result, some pupils do not learn as well as they should. The school should ensure that: the curriculum, especially in reading and communication, is adapted to match pupil's individual starting points assessment is well designed to capture the small steps in learning that pupils make and that this is used consistently well to plan for pupils' next steps staff are well-trained in pupils' precise educational learning needs and how to ensure that pupils know more and are able to do more over time.
