We had our first Ofsted inspection in May 2025 and were very proud to receive 'Good' judgements for our Quality of Education, Behaviour and Attitudes, Personal Development and Leadership and Management.
Inspectors recognised that:
'Pupils are happy because they know staff care about them. They enjoy the healthy, tasty meals at lunchtime and know they can talk to trusted staff when something is on their mind. This helps them to feel safe and supported. Families speak warmly about the school’s close-knit community. Special events bring everyone together and are a highlight of school life. Many look forward to the termly walks, where they learn about local history and notice the changing seasons. Singing assembly is another favourite, especially when the school song fills the hall with energy.
'Parents and staff alike value the school’s calm, welcoming atmosphere, which stems from leaders listening and responding to their needs.'
'Pupils generally behave well and respond positively to the school’s values and routines. Regular reinforcement of these helps embed them into daily habits, making pupils feel settled and ready to learn.'
'The school supports pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities with care and determination. From thoughtful early transitions to skilled daily support, staff adapt well to include every pupil in lessons.'
At the time of inspection, development work in the Early Years was at an early stage to strengthen the curriculum offer. Since inspection, we have further strengthened our Early Years offer though a review of the curriculum and daily practices in order to ensure that carefully planned opportunities for learners really foster a love of learning and solid foundations which can be built upon as they move up the school.
