What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 March 2025
Pupils are happy and safe at this welcoming school. They are confident to share any concerns they have with a member of staff. They trust staff to ensure that their worries are dealt with appropriately. Behaviour is excellent across the school. Pupils talk respectfully to staff and to each other, and in lessons they are focused on their learning. They eagerly join in discussions but are quickly attentive again when teachers need them to listen. In the playground, they play together cooperatively and encourage other pupils to join their games. The school has high expectations for all pupils. It has created a broad and ambitious curriculum where learning is structured to build knowledge during the pupils' journey through the school. By the time they leave the school, pupils achieve well. The school provides its pupils with many opportunities for wider enrichment. Pupils can access after-school clubs, such as art and computing. Pupils also contribute to the school community in different ways. For example, they can be a 'sports leader' and help support pupils in the playground.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, the curriculum is not delivered in line with the school's intentions. The chosen resources do not consistently present the information pupils need in a clear way and, as a result, pupils can be left confused. This can lead to them not developing the full depth of knowledge they need to be successful in these subjects. The school should ensure that there is consistency in the delivery of all curriculums, so pupils secure their knowledge and understanding over time.
