Ofsted Report

Pupils enjoy attending this welcoming and close-knit school community. Relationships between pupils are very positive, as are those between pupils and staff. Staff know pupils and their families very well and this helps pupils to feel secure and happy. Pupils’ enjoyment of school is a major factor in them attending regularly.

The school has high expectations for pupils’ behaviour. This starts with children in the early years. Routines are soon established when children join the Nursery. Children quickly learn about what is expected from them. Older pupils listen to and act on teachers’ directions readily. This establishes a harmonious place for learning, where pupils are rarely distracted in lessons.

Older pupils enjoy holding a range of leadership roles in the school. This could involve being part of the school council or being a classroom monitor. They also enjoy visits to the local area to support their learning, for example when learning about rivers.
