Ofsted
School remains Good Inspected 31 January 2024
Strengths
- “This is a school that sits at the heart of its community, where pupils are happy and settled.”
- “Pupils proudly talk about its inclusive and welcoming nature.”
- “They are well supported to learn and thrive in an environment characterised by warm, supportive relationships.”
To improve
- “As their early years provision has grown, leaders recognise that there is room for more specific building blocks that connect the early years and key stage 1 to be identified.”
- “However, this is not yet as consistent across foundation subjects and, as a result, the adaptations needed are not always as closely tailored to pupils’ needs as they could be.”
- “In one-to-one reading with adults, however, pupils are not always as supported as precisely as they could be.”
