What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 May 2024
Pupils enjoy coming to school. They are welcoming, friendly and polite. Pupils behave well. They have good relationships with their friends and school staff.

Pupils meet the high expectations that the school has for them. They are enthusiastic about their learning. Pupils achieve well in reading, writing and mathematics. The school ensures that pupils learn how to be physically and mentally healthy. There is a wide range of sporting activities available to pupils. Along with football and athletics, there is also a fencing club. Pupils are particularly enthusiastic about the regular opportunities to learn outdoors. Pupils in Year 5 are excited about their forthcoming visit to London, especially catching the train. Pupils appreciate the strong sense of community in the school. This is exemplified by parents, staff and pupils coming together to raise money for charity by running the 'Race for Life' in the local park. They also gather together on Remembrance day at the local war memorial. Pupils have their own fundraising group that supports various charities. This is one of the many ways that pupils thrive from leadership roles in school.
What the school should improve
- In some foundation subjects, the resources and activity choices do not always support pupils to learn the most important knowledge in the curriculum. This means that pupils are not remembering the curriculum in the long term. The school should match activity choices and resources more precisely to the required knowledge and skills that pupils need to learn.
- There is an inconsistent approach to assessment in the foundation subjects. As a result, pupils do not routinely receive feedback that will help them to improve. The school should implement a consistent assessment strategy in the foundation subjects to provide pupils with relevant and timely feedback.
