What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 11 February 2025

Everyone is proud of the family feel at this school. It cares about every pupil. Leaders want every pupil to be fully involved in school life and to do as well as they can, whatever barriers some may face. Consequently, pupils achieve well in lessons and in the published assessment results. They enjoy school and are happy. Pupils behave well in lessons and around school. They are sociable and get on well with each other, including with those who may be different from them. They fulfil the school's values 'to inspire and serve others'. Many have leadership roles, such as well-being champions, helping children in Reception or as Year 6 sports' champions who sometimes work with a local sports partnership. Pupils seek to serve the local community through the delivery of food parcels. Pupils get to choose the activities they would like the school to put on, for example 'the cat club' for those interested in these animals. They have a wide variety of trips, such as to Manor Adventure. They feel safe in school and know there is a trusted adult to talk to if they are worried about anything. They can also use the 'safe speak box'.

What the school should improve

  • Plans for the implementation of some wider curriculum subjects are not as well developed as others. In some subjects, teachers' subject knowledge is less secure. As a result, the delivery of the curriculum in some subjects is not as effective as it could be. The school should ensure that teachers have the skills they need to teach all curriculum subjects consistently well.
  • Persistent absence is high for some families. This leads to loss of learning and gaps in pupils' knowledge. The school should continue its efforts to ensure that all pupils attend school regularly.
