What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 24 June 2025
The school has high expectations for pupils' achievement and behaviour. Pupils respond to these expectations. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well. They enjoy their learning in different subjects. Pupils behave calmly and with focus in lessons. From the start of early years, children learn the school's expectations for behaviour. Pupils know that there are staff to care for them and help them with any concerns that may arise. The school skilfully supports pupils who need more help with their behaviour. The school provides pupils with an understanding of wider society and how they can contribute to it. Pupils have a clear understanding of the different groups that make up society. They develop a strong understanding of how to keep mentally and physically healthy. Staff speak to pupils with care and consideration. They create an environment of high expectations underpinned by a belief that all pupils can achieve. During their time in school, pupils develop knowledge and skills that prepare them well for the next stage of their education.
What the school should improve
- On occasions, teaching does not enable pupils to use subject-specific vocabulary accurately. This limits pupils' ability to demonstrate and articulate their understanding. The school should further refine its agreed pedagogical approaches to teaching vocabulary and support staff to implement these consistently.
