What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 20 May 2025
Pupils flourish at this caring and welcoming school. The school has high ambition for what pupils can achieve and how they should conduct themselves. Many pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well. Positive relationships are central to everything at the school. Pupils are rightly proud of their school and all that it has to offer. Pupils understand that many different types of people make up modern-day Britain. They understand and demonstrate the importance of treating others with respect, regardless of their differences. Pupils are keen to follow staff's instructions. They behave well. Pupils who need extra help in managing their emotions receive effective support from caring and nurturing staff. Pupils feel safe in school. They know whom they can talk to if they are worried about anything. Pupils have many opportunities to contribute to the life of the school and are proud to do so. For example, some pupils are elected to the school council, where they learn about how democracy works in practice. Other pupils learn how to help others and develop their character by acting as reading ambassadors or play buddies. Pupils also enjoy taking part in music performances and representing the school in sporting competitions.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes, assessment is not used effectively to check what pupils understand. This leads to gaps in pupils' knowledge because misconceptions are not consistently identified or addressed. The school should ensure that pupils' knowledge and understanding are routinely checked before introducing new content.
- In some subjects, the tasks pupils complete do not consistently match the ambition of the planned curriculum. This means that some pupils do not develop the depth of understanding they need to tackle future learning. The school should ensure that the tasks and activities chosen enable pupils to learn and remember more.
