What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 24 October 2023

Pupils enjoy attending this friendly, caring school. They are proud to be part of its community. This is reflected in the work that pupils produce and how keen they are to talk about what they have learned. The core values of love, perseverance and respect thread through all aspects of school life. These values encourage pupils to rise to the school's high expectations for their achievement. Pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well. They are well prepared for the next stage of their education. Pupils know and follow the school rules. They are polite and respectful to adults and each other. Staff do their best to ensure that pupils develop and grow in an environment where they feel happy and safe. Pupils know that the staff are there to help them if they have any worries or concerns. Pupils have many opportunities to develop their interests. These include a wide range of extra-curricular activities, including sports, music, art and cookery clubs. Pupils are keen to take part as these experiences help them to discover and strengthen new talents.

What the school should improve

  • Occasionally, the reading books that a small number of pupils read are not well matched to the sounds that they know. This has a negative effect on pupils' confidence and it delays how quickly they become fluent readers. The school should make sure that the books children read are well matched to their phonics knowledge.
  • In a small number of subjects, some teachers do not have secure enough subject knowledge to deliver subject content. This hinders some pupils from building their knowledge. The school should make sure that all staff have the subject knowledge and expertise that they need to deliver the curriculum effectively for the age group that they teach.
