What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 March 2026
This is a happy school where pupils feel valued. Some pupils join the school part way through an academic year or key stage. These pupils are welcomed and made to feel part of school life. Pupils achieve high standards in reading, writing and mathematics by the end of Year 6. However, some pupils do not achieve well across the whole curriculum. This is because some children in early years do not secure basic knowledge in reading and writing as quickly as they should. The challenges and barriers to learning that pupils face are noticed swiftly. Pupils receive a range of pastoral support. This is helping them to remain calm so that they can learn. Pupils are kind and polite towards each other. They learn about how to get along with others. Pupils concentrate well in lessons. Social times are a positive time of the school day where pupils play sports and games with their friends. Bullying is rare and pupils state that it is not an issue here. Pupils feel safe and know that staff will help them if they have any worries. Pupils and their families are supported successfully with attendance. Pupils are expected to attend regularly and they do. This has been the case over time. Pupils experience a broad and balanced curriculum that is tailored to individual needs. They take part in extra-curricular activities focused mainly around sports and music. There are meaningful opportunities to enrich the curriculum through, for example, river study visits as part of the geography curriculum and to a space centre to learn about planets as part of a science topic. Pupils learn how to be resilient. They compete in a multitude of competitive sports, such as tag rugby, football and netball.
What the school should improve
- Leaders should ensure high-quality teaching and adult interactions are implemented well in the early years.
- Leaders should ensure that the writing curriculum is taught consistently and effectively.
- Leaders should ensure that pupils' secure knowledge across all subjects in the curriculum.
- Governors and trustees should ensure that they provide rigorous challenge and support focused on areas for improvement.
