Early years - Expected standard. "Teaching in the Early Years is more consistent and shows the positive impact of leaders' improvement plans."

Achievement - Needs attention. "Achievement varies across the school."

Attendance and behaviour - Needs attention. "Attendance over time has been below national averages."

Curriculum and teaching - Needs attention. "Over time, curriculum implementation has been inconsistent due to multiple staff changes."

Inclusion - Needs attention. "Provision for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is improving but remains inconsistent."

Leadership and governance - Needs attention. "Leaders have faced significant challenges."

Personal development and wellbeing - Needs attention. "The school's personal development programme is developing."

Safeguarding standards were met.

Ofsted's next steps for the school: "Leaders should embed adaptive teaching so that activities meet the needs of all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities and higher‑attaining pupils"; "Leaders should strengthen assessment practice so teachers check understanding, address misconceptions and identify gaps promptly, ensuring effective support is in place"; "Leaders should review and embed their approach to the teaching of writing so pupils gain the foundational knowledge needed to become fluent, competent writers"; "Leaders should ensure that expectations for behaviour and attitudes to learning are consistently high by embedding the new behaviour policy to reduce low‑level disruption so that all pupils focus fully on their learning"; "Leaders should develop the personal development programme so pupils gain a secure understanding of diversity and fundamental British values and are well prepared for life in modern Britain"; "Governors should continue to support the school to ensure that leaders' plans are realised".

In its own words: "As a school we value each individual for who they are and open their eyes to a wealth of learning opportunities. Our mixed aged classes build a community where there is an abundance of togetherness, where everyone is known and heard."
