Ofsted Insights

From Ofsted's February 2025 inspection report.

What This School Does Well

This school is a welcoming, family-like community where children are happy and behave well. The school has strong values based on kindness, courage, humility and hope, which guide pupil behaviour and relationships. Early years provision is particularly strong, with engaging activities that help young children develop a love of learning and confidence to tackle challenges.

Key Strengths

  • Early years provision is exciting and purposeful, with children engaged in meaningful learning
  • Support for pupils with SEND has improved significantly with clear communication and appropriate in-class support
  • Behaviour and attendance have improved dramatically, with consistent approaches from all staff
  • Strong pastoral care and well-being support for all pupils
  • Pupils develop positive attitudes to learning and persevere when facing challenges

Areas for Improvement

  • Reading curriculum does not guide teachers on how to develop pupils' understanding of texts over time, leaving some pupils struggling with reading comprehension
  • Too much content in some subjects means pupils forget what they have learned, and curriculum work remains incomplete
  • Teachers do not accurately identify knowledge gaps or adapt activities to suit individual pupil needs
  • Leadership lacks clear systems to evaluate the impact of changes and improvements made

Safeguarding

Safeguarding arrangements are effective, with strong systems in place to keep pupils safe.

Extracurricular Activities

Visits to stately homes and wildlife parks, debate activities on environmental issues, peer mentoring roles for older pupils

This is a happy, inclusive school where pupils feel safe and supported. However, the quality of education requires improvement, particularly in how the curriculum is organised and taught across different subjects.
