What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 February 2025
Children thrive at this school. Staff leave no stone unturned in ensuring the children excel from their starting points. From the moment the children start, the school meticulously identifies their barriers to learning. It swiftly puts in place high-quality, tailored support. The school inspires the children to be curious, innovative and independent. They are expertly prepared for the move to their next school. The children are immersed in stories, songs and role play. They access a learning environment that is consistently rich in language, number and creative opportunities. The children relish re-enacting traditional tales, making their own toys with natural resources and exploring the outdoors. Children for whom English is an additional language soon grasp the key vocabulary and knowledge they need to communicate well. Staff skilfully support children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) to access the school's ambitious curriculum. Parents and carers appreciate the transformational effect the school has on their children. Children contribute to the 'pupil parliament' to share their learning and ideas. Children love to go on trips to the park, the seaside and local places of worship. They are keen to share their learning with their families, for example on curriculum days.
