From Ofsted report, inspected Mar 2025

Strengths

  • “This school is caring of and ambitious for all its pupils.”
  • “It enables pupils to feel safe and happy.”
  • “The staff work hard to help pupils achieve success.”

To improve

  • “The checks staff make in some subjects do not routinely identify whether pupils are embedding and building their knowledge securely over time.”
  • “This means that gaps in pupils’ knowledge are not identified, and pupils do not achieve in some curriculum areas as well as they could.”
  • “In the early years, activities provided during continuous provision sometimes leave children’s learning to chance.”
