What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 May 2025
Pupils and staff are proud to be part of this welcoming school. Staff know the pupils and their families incredibly well and have positive and warm relationships with them. Most pupils agree that they feel safe in school. Pupils, parents and carers know that staff will listen if they have a problem or a worry and will help them. The school has high expectations of behaviour. Pupils rise to the challenge and behave very well. They demonstrate a deep understanding of respect. This was particularly evident during the VE celebration assembly, where pupils were highly respectful, and their behaviour was exceptional. The school has high ambition for what pupils can achieve. It works extremely hard to help pupils overcome barriers and ensure that all pupils have opportunities to succeed. Disadvantaged pupils and those who speak English as an additional language are supported very well to access learning with their peers effectively. Pupils produce work to a high standard. Children get off to an exceptional start in early years. They demonstrate highly positive attitudes to their learning. Parents are positive about the school. Typical comments to inspectors included, 'The school always has my child's best interests at heart.'
What the school should improve
- In some foundation subjects, staff do not revise and consolidate the most important prior learning effectively. As a result, some pupils do not remember crucial curriculum content well enough. The school should ensure that its approach to retaining the important knowledge in foundation subjects is such that pupils understand and remember key learning securely over time.
- The school has not ensured that pupils have opportunities to learn about different faiths in sufficient depth. As a result, pupils do not have the knowledge they need to engage effectively in this aspect of life in modern Britain. The school should ensure that pupils have opportunities to develop a greater understanding of world religions.
