From Ofsted report, inspected May 2025

Strengths

  • “Pupils enjoy being part of this warm and inclusive school community.”
  • “From the early years onwards, children get off to a strong start.”
  • “In Reception, they settle quickly into wellestablished routines and enjoy a rich and engaging environment.”

To improve

  • “In some subjects beyond English and mathematics, support for pupils with SEND is not consistently well matched to their needs.”
  • “As a result, some pupils struggle to access learning and do not achieve as well as they could.”
  • “The school, supported by the trust, should improve the quality of support for pupils with SEND to promote their achievement across the whole curriculum.”
