What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 25 March 2025

'Learning to make a difference' is seen and heard through all parts of the school day and beyond. Pupils enjoy their learning and strive to work hard. An increasing proportion of pupils are achieving well. The school's high expectations for pupils' behaviour and their growth as unique individuals are visible in its work with the youngest children to the oldest pupils. Behaviour is notably praiseworthy. Pupils uphold the school's values. Being ready, respectful and safe soon becomes second nature to them. Pupils grow in maturity, confidence and independence. From 'buddy readers' to being a budding junior police officer, pupils see the value in their roles and responsibilities and how they support their peers. The school goes above and beyond to provide pupils with many varied experiences and opportunities. The 'careers carnival' opens the door to the world of work for pupils. It allows them to peek inside and gain insight into a vast array of jobs that exist after school. Pupils have an active voice in many aspects of school life and appreciate that their opinions are asked for and respected. Peer mentors skim and scan the playground and step in if anyone needs a friend. Pupils are right when they say, 'We can change things because we are listened to.'

What the school should improve

  • Staff do not always address pupils' errors in their written work. This means some pupils have gaps in their foundational handwriting and spelling knowledge that persist. The school should ensure that staff enable pupils to write with increased letter formation and spelling accuracy and errors are addressed.
