What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 January 2025
Pupils and staff flourish in this caring school community. The vision that everyone here will grow and learn is truly lived out in all the school does. Pupils benefit from the care and education provided by well-trained staff. Relationships are positive. Adults know the pupils and their families incredibly well. Pupils feel happy and enjoy their time in school. Pupils value the importance of kind behaviour. The youngest children settle quickly, learn to share, listen to others and take turns. When a small number of pupils need help to manage their emotions, staff and other pupils support them incredibly well. Woody, the school dog, is an integral part of school life, helping pupils to develop an understanding of responsibility. The school wants every pupil to achieve well. Improvements made to the curriculum in recent years help to ensure that this is the case. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), have a secure start to their education and are prepared well for junior school. Pupils enjoy the opportunities the school offers to broaden their horizons. There are a range of purposefully chosen activities that pupils experience which add to the 'bank of memories' the school strives to provide.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, pupils do not have the opportunity to practise and then apply the key knowledge they need to be secure in their learning. Some pupils access learning which does not closely meet their needs. The school should ensure that assessments of what pupils know and can do are used effectively to design opportunities for pupils to practise the knowledge and skills they need before they move on.
