What This School Does Well

This small, friendly school has high expectations and creates a safe, supportive environment where all pupils can thrive. Staff are skilled at adapting teaching so every child learns together, and there is strong emphasis on reading from the early years onwards. The school actively develops leadership skills and gives pupils meaningful experiences like trips and performances to enrich their learning.

Key Strengths

  • Strong phonics teaching with effective support to help pupils who fall behind catch up quickly
  • High expectations for behaviour and academic work, with pupils responding positively to praise and clear expectations
  • Good adaptation of teaching for pupils with SEND, enabling all pupils to learn together
  • Well-established reading programme with pupils enjoying a range of books and regular opportunities to read with adults
  • Strong pastoral care with positive relationships between pupils and staff

Areas for Improvement

  • Some subjects lack clear mapping of key knowledge and skills pupils should learn, which affects pupil progress
  • The curriculum does not sufficiently deepen pupils' understanding of other faiths and cultures, limiting their preparation for modern Britain
  • Mathematics curriculum has been adapted but some pupils still have gaps from previous learning

Safeguarding

Safeguarding arrangements are effective, with staff and pupils knowing how to stay safe both online and outside school.

Extracurricular Activities

Orchestra performance, musical instruments, school council charity work and fundraising, play leaders, lunchtime monitors, trips to local church, science museum visits, visits to local power station and businesses
