What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 January 2025
Pupils thrive at this friendly and welcoming school. They work and play together happily. Pupils value the warm and caring relationships that they have with staff. Pupils show respect for others. Their attitudes and conduct embody the school's values. Learning is rarely disrupted by any incidents of poor behaviour. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), make an important contribution to school life. The school ensures that pupils develop as responsible citizens by taking on different roles and responsibilities. For example, older pupils enjoy working as playground buddies. Pupils learn why it is important to care for the environment. For instance, members of the eco-committee make sure that lights are switched off to conserve energy. They also take part in litter picking and recycling initiatives. Pupils rise eagerly to meet the school's high expectations for their learning. This starts in the early years, where children settle in well and quickly become confident and enthusiastic learners. Across the school, pupils achieve well.
What the school should improve
- Some staff do not ensure that pupils, including those with SEND, have mastered fundamental writing skills before they move on to more challenging content. This hampers some pupils from becoming competent writers and learning as well as they should. The school should ensure that staff support pupils who find writing difficult consistently well, so that more pupils become proficient writers across the curriculum.
