What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 8 May 2024
Pupils, parents and carers and staff are, rightly, proud to be part of this school's community. The school's friendly and welcoming atmosphere enables new pupils to settle quickly. They soon feel part of the school's 'family'. Adults foster strong, positive relationships. Pupils know that they can go to an adult if they are worried about something. Pupils are caring and courteous towards their peers. They know and understand the school's expectations of them. They demonstrate these expectations positively in their conduct in class and around school. Older pupils recognise that they are role models to those in younger year groups. Pupils play harmoniously at breaktimes. They demonstrate high levels of independence. The school has experienced several changes during the current academic year. A significant increase in the number of pupils has resulted in the creation of an additional class. Pupils speak positively of this change. They told inspectors that the smaller class sizes help them to concentrate on their work. The school has high expectations of all pupils. Pupils achieve well. There is compelling evidence to suggest that the recent changes to class organisation and the curriculum are further supporting the school to realise its high ambitions for pupils.
What the school should improve
- Some actions to develop the school have only recently been implemented. They need time to establish before the full impact of them is realised. The school should further embed the actions that have been started to develop the school.
