Ofsted Information

Highlights from the January 2025 Ofsted Ungraded Inspection include:

This is a welcoming, inclusive school. The school’s values, along with the individual class

charters, are at the heart of school life. This helps pupils to develop a good understanding

of difference, equality and respect. Pupils feel part of a school family. They are happy and

proud of their school.

The early years is warm, friendly and inviting. The curriculum prioritises children’s

language and communication skills. Children join in with songs, rhymes and stories. This

helps them to learn new vocabulary and develop their speaking skills. There are many

opportunities for children to strengthen fine motor skills. As they become more confident,

adults remind them how to hold a pencil and practise early writing skills. This prepares

children well for Year 1.

The school has recently experienced a rise in the number of pupils being identified with

highly complex SEND. The trust is working proactively and effectively with school leaders

and external agencies to create specialist provision for these pupils. As a result, pupils are

settled and achieving the best possible outcomes.
