Ofsted Insights

What This School Does Well

The school prioritises reading and pupils leave able to read fluently and confidently. Staff are ambitious for pupils and provide strong pastoral support through quiet spaces and activities that boost self-esteem. The school supports pupils with SEND effectively by adapting the curriculum so they can learn alongside their peers, and works well with families and external agencies.

Key Strengths

  • Strong focus on reading with high-quality texts and consistent phonics teaching throughout the school
  • Effective support for pupils with SEND through staff training and quick identification of needs
  • Personal development programme that promotes school values, diversity and mutual respect
  • Improving leadership at all levels providing more stability
  • Well-established routines in early years and across the school

Areas for Improvement

  • Some teachers lack subject knowledge in foundation subjects, leading to unclear teaching and activities that don't focus on intended learning
  • Behaviour strategies are not applied consistently by all staff, causing disruption to learning
  • High levels of persistent absence among some pupils, despite improvement efforts

Safeguarding

Safeguarding arrangements are effective and the school has created a positive culture that puts pupils' interests first.

Extracurricular Activities

Sports clubs, chess club, building bricks club, trips to broaden curriculum knowledge, salad bar responsibility for older pupils, after-school club
