What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 22 October 2024
Pupils are proud to attend this school. They value the school's nurturing and caring ethos. They feel, and are, safe. Strong relationships between staff and pupils are evident across the school. A significant proportion of pupils join the school at different times of the academic year. The school's well-established routines enable pupils to settle quickly and meet the school's high expectations of them. Most pupils demonstrate positive attitudes and behaviour in class and around school. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are exceptionally well supported. The school provides a range of carefully considered, and appropriate, support so that all pupils develop the skills they need to flourish. Parents and carers appreciate the regular communication they receive from the school. This, along with events such as curriculum workshops and stay and play sessions, help them to find out how to support their child's education. Pupils enjoy opportunities to learn about the area in which they live. They visit places of interest as part of their studies. These, along with residential visits from Years 2 to 6, enrich pupils' understanding of the world around them. The school's ambition for all pupils is successfully promoted by staff. This encourages pupils to work hard and strive for success. Consequently, pupils achieve well during their time at the school.
What the school should improve
- Some pupils do not attend school regularly or they have significant periods of absence. These pupils miss out on important learning opportunities and achieve less well than their peers. The school should continue to work with families to reduce rates of absence.
