What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 January 2025
Pupils enjoy attending this school and describe it as a small, happy family. Teachers greet pupils warmly at the gate each morning, creating a caring atmosphere. They check for any worries or concerns, making everyone feel welcome and supported. Staff have high expectations, and pupils respond well. They enjoy learning and achieve success. For example, pupils in Year 2 read aloud books matched to their improving phonics knowledge, sounding out unfamiliar words confidently. Years 5 and 6 pupils explain concepts like friction, showing their understanding from the science curriculum. Pupils show the school's values through the 'Guiding Lights' initiative, acting as agents for change in their community. They deliver harvest bouquets to the elderly, fostering kindness, responsibility and a sense of purpose. These activities reflect the school's ethos. Behaviour is calm and positive, with pupils following routines and engaging well in lessons. Staff know pupils well, fostering strong relationships that create a supportive environment where pupils feel valued and encouraged to succeed. Parents and carers describe the school as caring and supportive, with staff focusing on well-being. Pupils are happy and thriving. They receive the support they need in a highly nurturing environment.
What the school should improve
- On occasion, teaching activities are too broad for some pupils. For these pupils, these activities are too much to process. They lose focus and do not engage as well as they should with learning. The school should ensure that teaching activities are broken down to allow all pupils to engage effectively.
- In a few foundation subjects, not enough time is given to pupils to practise subject- specific skills. As a result, pupils do not always gain the understanding they need to apply these skills as well as they should. The school should ensure that teaching supports sufficient development of subject-specific skills.
