What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 18 March 2025

Pupils love school. They are pleased to see friends in the morning at breakfast club. They play happily and safely together at break times. They enjoy everyone's company. Older pupils make lasting friendships. They reflect on how much they will miss their school and friends when they move on to secondary school. Pupils learn in a calm, friendly and ambitious school. Adults have high expectations. They expect good behaviour and focused learners. Pupils respond positively by working hard and behaving well. They have confident attitudes to learning and are polite, considerate members of the community. They achieve well. Pupils understand the school values of Kindness, Determination, Honesty, Independence, Resilience and Respect, and they demonstrate these values in their learning and relationships. Pupils trust staff to help and support them if they have worries or concerns. They respect that everyone is different and include everybody. They know staff care about their well- being and safety. Consequently, they feel safe. Pupils have many opportunities to develop personally. They are proud to receive the 'good egg' reward for the positive deeds they do. They learn about a range of cultures and people and how to be mentally and physically fit. They are well prepared for life beyond school.

What the school should improve

  • In some areas of the curriculum, it is not clear what the most important information is that pupils need to know and remember. As a result, the checks that staff make on pupils' learning are not sufficient to identify and address gaps in pupils' knowledge. The school should ensure that the curriculum information and checks that they make on pupils' learning are clear enough to identify and address gaps in pupils' knowledge so that all pupils can deepen their knowledge of the whole curriculum over time.
