What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 9 June 2026
Pupils arrive in school happily and settle quickly into the routines of the day. They enjoy discussing their learning and work well together in class. Pupils practise important skills, such as handwriting, and enjoy learning new things. During their time in school, they learn to read, write and communicate well. They use their mathematical skills to solve problems. They perform well in national tests and are well prepared for the move to secondary school at the end of Year 6. This includes pupils who experience barriers to learning. These pupils are supported well. Pupils enjoy being involved in all aspects of school life. They respect the school’s Christian values and show tolerance of others. Pupils have positive relationships with staff. These are based on kindness and respect. They make friends and play well together. Pupils experience a residential trip where they develop their resilience and try new things. They talk enthusiastically about enrichment activities and experiences beyond the curriculum. For example, pupils learn to cook, garden and write code for computers. They learn first-aid skills and try activities such as yoga. These activities are built into the school day and every pupil takes part. Pupils enjoy learning to sing and get the opportunity to perform in the school choir. They represent the school in sporting events such as cross-country and handball. Pupils take part in the daily mile and learn the benefits of exercise. These experiences help pupils to develop their talents and build confidence. Pupils enjoy school. However, attendance is currently a concern for some pupils. Pupils behave well. They enjoy receiving praise slips and talk about the importance of being ready, respectful and safe. They engage well with lessons and listen well. Staff deal with any incidents, such as bullying, quickly.
What the school should improve
- Leaders should continue to work with families to raise attendance, particularly for those taking holidays in term time.
- Leaders should continue to ensure that staff consistently maximise opportunities for high-quality interactions with children, so that children develop and deepen their language and vocabulary as securely as possible.
