What Ofsted said about the school:

Community is important at this school. Pupils are proud to come here and have a strong sense of belonging. Parents appreciate the school’s warm, nurturing atmosphere. Staff get to know pupils well. 

The school has developed an exciting curriculum that brings learning to life. For example, during the inspection, pupils were preparing for a visit from a ‘knight’, dressed in full armour. The school is ambitious for all pupils to achieve high standards. Pupils do their best to meet these high expectations.

The curriculum is ambitious for all pupils. Curriculum changes provide clarity around the most important knowledge that pupils need to learn. Approaches to teaching have a positive impact on pupils’ remembering important subject content.

Reading is at the heart of the curriculum. Children get off to a strong start in Reception. Staff teach the school’s phonics curriculum well. Effective assessment ensures that staff have clear information to ensure pupils build knowledge securely. Pupils who find reading difficult are skilfully supported to catch up. Pupils practise reading often. This helps them to develop fluency and confidence. Pupils achieve well in reading. As pupils progress through school, they enjoy reading the exciting selection of books on offer.

The school has created an inclusive environment where every pupil is supported to access the full curriculum and achieve success.

Staff support pupils’ well-being extremely well. Pupils of different ages play cordially together at social times. They respect each other and the staff who help them.

The school prepares pupils for life beyond the school very well. Pupils learn to stay safe in the local community and when online. Pupils develop a clear sense of right and wrong by discussing and debating topical news items.
