What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 February 2025
Pupils learn to 'be safe, be caring and be bold' at this welcoming school. The school has high expectations for pupils. Pupils enjoy learning and achieve very highly in national tests at the end of key stage 2. Children in early years receive an excellent start to their education. The school is currently working on the development of some wider curriculum subjects. Pupils are happy. They have warm relationships with adults. They are inquisitive and welcome visitors to the school. Pupils behave well in lessons and move around the school site calmly. They interact with each other amiably at social times. Pupils feel safe and have trusted adults at the school. The school provides many ways for pupils to develop their wider interests. Pupils participate in gymnastics, chess club, choir, creative writing and geography club. They develop their swimming skills at the school's own pool. Pupils have lots of opportunities to develop their leadership skills. For example, 'Be carers' look after the well-being of other pupils. 'Be safers' lead assemblies about the importance of online safety. Members of the school council help to decide new clubs that can be offered and which charities the school will support.
What the school should improve
- In some foundation subjects, the school has not fully identified the essential knowledge it wants pupils to know and when. This limits pupils from gaining as much key knowledge as they could. The school should refine and embed its curriculum development across all foundation subjects so that pupils achieve highly.
- Some pupils lack knowledge of British values and people with protected characteristics. This limits their understanding of life in modern Britain. The school should ensure that pupils are able to recall knowledge about British values and protected characteristics, understand them and explain why they are important.
