What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 7 January 2025

Pupils are happy and well cared for at this warm and welcoming school. The school has a family feel and is very much at the heart of the local community. Pupils are proud of their school and enjoy coming here. They feel safe at the school. The school has high expectations for the attainment of all pupils. Although there was some variation in key stage 2 writing outcomes last year, pupils generally achieve well here. The school has put measures in place to improve the writing curriculum. Pupils' conduct around school is excellent. They embody the school's values of respect, caring, forgiveness, honesty and trust. The school community truly does 'learn and grow together'. Pupils are respectful and supportive of each other. Children quickly learn school routines and systems in Reception. Pupils attend a range of extra-curricular activities including arts and sports, such as judo. The sports teams compete against local schools. The Chinese whisper group learn Mandarin and have performed in a concert at a local university. Pupils benefit from opportunities to build their resilience and connect with nature while learning outdoors.

What the school should improve

  • The previous writing curriculum did not fully prepare pupils to complete extended pieces of writing. As a result, some pupils have gaps in their writing knowledge. The school should regularly check the impact of the new writing curriculum to ensure that the quality of pupils' writing is improving and make adaptations to the curriculum if this is not the case.
