From Ofsted report, inspected Jun 2025

Strengths

  • “Pupils thrive in this inclusive and welcoming school.”
  • “They love coming to school, excited by the learning that each day brings.”
  • “They feel safe, knowing that they are well cared for.”

To improve

  • “At times, teaching does not address pupils’ misconceptions well enough.”
  • “When this happens, some misconceptions are not remedied and consequently persist.”
  • “The school should ensure that assessment is used effectively across the curriculum to check and deepen pupils’ understanding and to inform future learning.”
