What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 February 2025
Pupils are proud and happy to attend this school. Pupils' attitudes embody the school's values of 'love, compassion and respect'. They show wonderful empathy, for instance, by imagining what it is like to stand in someone else's shoes. They share generously and celebrate differences. This begins in the early years, where children quickly adapt to the school's routines and high expectations for their behaviour. Staff have high expectations and pupils follow an ambitious curriculum that is well organised for mixed-age classes. Pupils work hard in their lessons and make good progress through the curriculum. The school provides pupils with a vibrant range of wider opportunities that enhance and support the curriculum. Clubs broaden pupils' experiences and develop their talents and interests. For example, every pupil takes part in 'balance-ability', so that they leave the school knowing how to ride a pedal bicycle and take part in competitive sporting events. The school relishes being part of the local community and often pupils take part in important events, such as Remembrance Day. This helps pupils to develop into responsible and active citizens. Parents are overwhelmingly positive about the work of the school. A typical comment was that this is a 'wonderful school with clear values that nurtures children and seeks to help them succeed.'
What the school should improve
- Sometimes, the school does not make sure that teachers use assessment strategies effectively. This means that, on occasion, staff are unsure in their teaching what pupils already know and understand. The school should ensure that teachers use assessment strategies well to inform their teaching and help pupils to build up a secure body of knowledge.
