What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 7 December 2022

Being part of this small school is like being part of a large family. Pupils and staff get along harmoniously. They look out for one another's well-being and work together to make school life enjoyable and productive. This means that staff work hard to ensure that pupils feel safe and happy and achieve teachers' high expectations. In return, pupils try their best and learn well. Pupils embody the school's values: courage, compassion, friendship, truth, respect and creativity. Consequently, they do not worry about being treated unkindly or being bullied. Fallings-out do sometimes happen, but staff help pupils to resolve issues. Pupils feel very well supported. The size of the school makes it difficult for staff to provide many extracurricular activities. They more than compensate for this by providing a wide range of enriching experiences during the school day. Many are woven into lessons and lunchtimes, including singing, dancing, creative activities and sporting competitions. Pupils learn to behave well. Older pupils, in particular, take a great deal of responsibility for doing the right things at the right time. Younger pupils are learning to do this, although they do still get a little over-enthusiastic and boisterous at times.

What the school should improve

  • Pupils do not have a firm grasp of the rules of grammar and spelling that are set out in the national curriculum. As a result, their writing is not consistently accurate. Leaders need to ensure that pupils learn these rules securely so that they can apply them when writing.
