Ofsted
Good Inspected 30 January 2024
Strengths
- “Pupils are joyful and proud of their aspirational and welcoming school.”
- “From Nursery to Year 6, everyone learns to live the school’s values of respect, resilience, responsibility, community, compassion and excellence.”
- “These values have inspired excellent behaviour, which helps most pupils to meet the school’s high expectations for all.”
To improve
- “Some pupils find it hard to manage their emotions.”
- “The school’s high expectations were not reflected by published test outcomes in 2023, which were lower than national averages in key stage 2.”
- “This often works well, but sometimes teachers do not sharply identify pupils’ misconceptions.”
