Ofsted Insights

From Ofsted's April 2025 inspection report.

What This School Does Well

The school excels at creating an inclusive, caring environment where all pupils thrive. Reading is a clear priority with excellent systems in place, and the school's pastoral support and community service programmes help pupils develop strong values. Children in early years benefit from well-established routines and outdoor learning that build confidence and independence.

Key Strengths

  • Strong reading programme with well-trained staff and a culture that encourages reading across the school
  • Highly inclusive support for pupils with SEND - needs are quickly identified and effective support is put in place
  • Excellent early years provision with well-established routines that help children feel secure and develop physical and social skills
  • Strong pastoral support and community service opportunities that help pupils develop the school's values
  • Well-behaved pupils who are typically focused on learning with rarely disrupted lessons

Areas for Improvement

  • Some teaching does not consistently align with curriculum intent, meaning some pupils take longer to become secure in key concepts
  • Some activities and teaching choices are not as purposeful as they could be in promoting knowledge development
  • Implementation and impact of some policies and initiatives are not being fully realised by leaders and governors
  • Some pupils, including in early years, have gaps in understanding which makes independent work difficult

Safeguarding

Safeguarding arrangements are effective, with pupils understanding how to stay safe including online, knowing their trusted adults, and feeling safe at school.

Extracurricular Activities

Debating club, cooking club, homework club, anti-bullying ambassador roles, worship leader roles, school council, culture day with traditional clothing and home cuisines, fundraising for global causes and linked school in South Africa, visits to museums, canal, and beach, sixth-form reading programme with Year 6, breakfast and after-school clubs
