What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 1 April 2025
Pupils are happy, enjoy learning and feel safe at school. They know they have trusted adults that they can talk to about worries or concerns. This school inspires pupils to love learning. There are high expectations for all pupils to be successful. Pupils understand these expectations. This begins in the early years as children, including two-year-olds, settle quickly and achieve well. The school's high ambition for pupils is reflected in the quality of pupils' work around the school. Pupils, in class and during breaktimes, are polite and respectful towards each other, school staff and visitors. They understand and celebrate the school's values such as resilience and kindness. At social times, pupils play happily and enjoy the quality activities, including a range of organised sports. Pupils and parents and carers are clear that staff deal with any bullying rapidly and fairly. The school enriches the curriculum and brings it to life for pupils. Pupils enjoy the many extra activities, including the opportunity to visit special places. These include places of worship in religious education. Pupils value the inspiring visitors who come into school, for instance sports coaches who extend the physical education curriculum. Such activities develop pupils' self-confidence and improve social skills.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, the school has not identified with enough precision the knowledge it wants pupils to know and remember. As a result, some pupils, particularly disadvantaged pupils, are less well prepared for future learning. The school needs to support and develop leaders to clearly define what pupils should know and when they should learn it in all subjects.
