What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 June 2025
Pupils are proud to welcome visitors to their happy, caring and inclusive school. From the playground to the classroom, the atmosphere is friendly, warm and positive. Pupils enjoy the broad range of subjects they study. They share and discuss their work constructively with each other. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well across the curriculum. The school's expectations for behaviour are consistently high and pupils rise to meet them. Relationships are respectful. Pupils speak to staff and each other with great politeness. Pupils are not worried about bullying. However, they know what to do if they are worried, and they trust staff to help them. Pupils make a highly positive and tangible contribution to the life of the school. They are proud of the school and its values. Pupils help each other throughout the day and enjoy time together. Each year group contributes to the 'junior council', as well as through the proactive work of the 'mental health ambassadors' and 'eco warriors'. Pupils appreciate that their voice is heard and that they have an influence in decision-making. Pupils experience and relish activities that allow them to develop their talents in sports, arts and other interests.
What the school should improve
- Some pupils at the earliest stages of writing have not, until recently, received the support they need. This means that their letter formation and writing fluency does not improve as quickly as it could. The school should improve the support that pupils receive to develop their writing.
