School remains Good Inspected 9 March 2022
Strengths
- “Pupils experience a warm and welcoming school where they feel safe, valued and included.”
- “From the moment they arrive, pupils are welcomed by caring adults and settle quickly into established routines.”
- “Staff know pupils well and build trusting relationships that help them feel supported.”
To improve
- “Published outcomes declined in 2025, and writing remains less secure than other subjects.”
- “However, it is too early to see the full impact of this work, which remains a school focus.”
- “Leaders continue to improve consistency in applying high expectations for behaviour so that occasional low-level disruption is reduced and pupils can focus fully on their learning.”
