What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 June 2025
This is a warm, welcoming school that provides a wide range of opportunities for pupils that bring the curriculum to life. Each year, pupils benefit from talking to visitors and visiting interesting places such as Conisbrough Castle. The school has high expectations of what pupils can achieve. Published outcomes were below the national average in 2024. Leaders have acted effectively to make improvements this year. Pupils enjoy attending school. Behaviour is good. Pupils show good manners, holding doors open for others and showing courtesy to visitors. There are positive, respectful relationships between staff and pupils. Pupils listen to staff carefully in classrooms. They work hard and help each other to complete tasks. Pupils learn how to stay safe, including when using the internet. Pupils enjoy attending extra-curricular clubs, such as cheerleading or sports club. Pupils contribute well to the local community. For example, pupils take part in a parade to mark the local maypole celebrations. Parents and carers are welcomed into school for numerous events, such as 'Stay and Play' for younger children. As a result, there are strong relationships between the school and families.
What the school should improve
- The school does not follow the reading curriculum closely enough. Some pupils find their work too easy. As a result, some pupils do not achieve as well as they should. The school should ensure that the reading curriculum is used carefully to meet the needs of all pupils.
