What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 14 April 2026

Pupils enjoy learning and achieve very well. They show curiosity and awe for the world. Lessons link well to visits, visitors and wider experiences. Pupils engage in logical and passionate debate in lessons. Pupils learn how to speak well through excellent oracy and pupil voice projects. Pupils use these skills in class and in informal settings. Academic outcomes are high compared with national averages. Pupils are confident and fluent readers. Many show a passion for literature and poetry. Pupils feel ready for their next steps because daily learning builds towards the future. Staff remove barriers to learning and provide pupils with highly considered wellbeing support. This enables pupils to make rapid progress from their starting points. Pupils belong to a warm and positive school community. They feel safe because adults know them well. Relationships are consistent and trusted. Pupils know who to talk to if they are worried. Staff are ambitious for every pupil and show this often. This belief builds pupils' confidence. Pupils feel included in all parts of school life. They treat each other and adults with respect. They use polite manners at all times. They show real kindness in daily actions, such as helping younger pupils or welcoming new friends. Pupils attend school regularly, partly because they feel happy, valued and secure at school. Pupils show excellent behaviour and positive attitudes. Conduct around the school is calm and purposeful. Pupils move sensibly and care for shared spaces. Bullying is rare. When it occurs, staff deal with it quickly and effectively. At breaktimes, pupils play well together. They also talk deeply about ideas. For example, pupils who found a millipede on the playground discussed where to place it safely, debating suitable habitats, food sources and how to carry it without harm.

What the school should improve

  • Leaders should continue to develop consistent and highly effective teaching across all age ranges.
  • Leaders could continue to develop and enrich their professional learning offer to further support the future leadership development for staff.
  • Leaders may continue to deepen and support pupils access to opportunities to broaden and realise their future aspirations beyond education.
