What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 23 April 2025
'Wonderful' is a word used by one pupil, representing the views of many, to describe this school. Pupils feel safe and happy, and enjoy their time here. The school welcomes pupils from many different backgrounds, faiths and cultures. Everyone is made to feel part of a family. Pupils form strong relationships with their peers and with adults. The school has high expectations for all pupils. Pupils make increasingly strong progress through the curriculum. The school has a tranquil atmosphere. Pupils are polite and respectful. They are attentive in lessons and show positive attitudes to learning. They develop strong morals and know the difference between right and wrong. Pupils receive a wide range of personal development opportunities. They experience taking part in debates, contributing to school fairs and visits to activity centres. Children in early years learn how to keep themselves stable on balance bicycles and care for newly hatched chicks. These experiences ensure that pupils develop many different skills and interests beyond the curriculum. Pupils contribute to leadership of the school. They support the school and the wider community. For example, school councillors support local families living in temporary housing by providing food and presents for children. House captains lead assemblies that teach other pupils how to stay safe online. These opportunities develop pupils' confidence and sense of responsibility.
What the school should improve
- The school's strategies to develop pupils' deeper knowledge and understanding are not fully embedded. This means that some pupils do not develop the depth of knowledge and understanding that they could. The school should ensure that pupils consistently receive the opportunities and support needed to secure and deepen their learning.
