What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 March 2025
Pupils delight in coming to school. They take pride in representing their recently formed house teams, warmly congratulating their friends when they gain a highly valued house point. With their 'wow walking' and 'slick sitting', pupils contribute to a calm and purposeful school, where learning and enjoyment go hand in hand. They live up to the high expectations set for them by adults as they work hard in class and pupils learn and develop well. Positive relationships sit at the heart of the school. Pupils are polite and respectful and get on well with one another and adults. Children in the Nursery and Reception classes quickly learn to share and take turns. They are guided to be responsible for their classroom, taking care of the equipment they use. Older pupils show this same level of responsibility as they take on jobs and help around the school. Pupils are well versed in how to keep safe. Living near the sea, pupils know how to stay safe around water. They also have a clear understanding of the risks they face online, knowing the steps they can take to keep safe as they grow up. Pupils have great faith that adults are there to help if they ever have a problem or worry.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, teachers do not use assessment information to make precise adaptions to the curriculum as well as they do in other subjects. This means that in these cases activities do not provide pupils with the opportunity to fully develop and deepen their knowledge. The school should provide teachers with the knowledge and skills to ensure assessment information is used to precisely inform pupils' next steps in their learning within these subjects.
