What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 22 January 2025

Pupils thrive at this school. The school's vision of 'love of learning, love of the community, prepared for the future' is fully realised in this warm and welcoming small school. Staff care for pupils well. Pupils know that staff will help them with any worries of concerns they may have. This helps them to feel happy and secure. The school's expectations of pupils are high. Pupils rise to these. In the Reception Year, staff establish routines quickly. As a result, children settle into school life well. Pupils conduct themselves calmly around the school. They are polite and respectful to each other and adults. Pupils play well together. Older pupils are positive role models for younger pupils. The school has high aspirations for pupils. Pupils are enthusiastic in their learning and work well with their peers. They try hard and answer staff questions eagerly. As a result, pupils achieve very well in English and mathematics. Pupils build knowledge that prepares them well for their future lives. By taking on responsible roles, such as being members of the school council or health and well-being ambassadors, pupils learn how to play an active role in helping to improve their school and community.

What the school should improve

  • In foundation subjects, consistent assessment processes have not been fully established. This means that teachers' checks on what pupils know are not as effective as they could be. The school should ensure that useful assessment systems are in place that enable teachers and leaders to check how well pupils are learning the curriculum and thereby further improve the curriculum.
  • In-class support and adaptations to teaching do not always meet the needs of pupils with SEND as well as they could. As a result, at times, this can hinder the progress of pupils with SEND. The school should ensure that staff have the expertise needed to adapt delivery of the curriculum so that pupils with SEND can access the curriculum successfully.
