Ofsted Report – June 2025
Our recent Ofsted inspection upholds our status as a “good” school. The inspector was clearly impressed with the incredibly strong outcomes and the ‘high expectations of what pupils can achieve’ that we continue to deliver for all of our children.
The report highlights how ‘school leaders, including governors, are highly ambitious for the school’, that our bespoke Community Curriculum ‘identifies the knowledge and skills that pupils need to be successful from Nursery to Year 6’ and how children ‘talk with great enthusiasm about the extensive range of creative, musical and physical activities on offer for all ages and abilities’.
Our children’s very positive attitudes to learning are acknowledged; how they ‘behave well around school and on the playground’, and how ‘the wellbeing and social, emotional and mental health of pupils receives the highest priority in the school’. The report adds that ‘early years provision is exceptional’ and how ‘pupils relish the opportunity to extend learning beyond the classroom and experience a wealth of outdoor learning opportunities’.
Another strength is that ‘this friendly and welcoming school is at the heart of the local community’ which is the result of school leaders and governors knowing ‘the school and its community well’. In addition, that ‘pupils are happy, kept safe and are valued’ and the way ‘staff work closely together to ensure that all pupils with SEND achieve well and make strong progress through the curriculum’ affirms the importance we place on inclusion and meeting the needs of each child. In verbal feedback to governors, the inspector acknowledged how the leaders are doing ‘everything they can to raise attendance’.
Please share how the report resoundingly endorses the special culture we have created together with our families. You can read a copy of the full report.
