 "Pupils enjoy attending this welcoming, friendly school. They are happy and safe.  They know that adults have their best interests at heart.  Pupils understand the school rules and meet the high expectations set in class." 

"This school has experienced a significant period of turbulence since the last inspection. As this has stabilised, pupils are now benefiting from the many, well-considered improvements that new leaders have brought about."

"The new leadership team has driven rapid and sustained change in all areas, with skill and determination. As a result, the education provided is having more of a positive impact on pupils’ learning. Most parents and carers have recognised these improvements. Staff are extremely positive about the support they receive from leaders. Governors are aware of their statutory responsibilities. They use their skill and experience to provide appropriate challenge and support. "

Since our inspection in January 2025, we have been working very hard with all of our stakeholders to continue to grow and develop our green shoots of improvement.

We are really proud of all that we have achieved on our exciting journey... 

We were tasked with: 

• The school should ensure that the revised reading curriculum supports pupils across the school to read fluently and with understanding.
• The school should ensure that the curriculum identifies these basic skills from the early years clearly and progressively so that pupils build fluency in the basic skills and are able to write independently with confidence and fluency over time.
• The school should ensure that all staff have the skills and expertise to demonstrate consistent expectations of behaviour throughout the school day.

Our outcomes: 

• We have developed our reading model across Years 2-6 to ensure that our children read daily, through explicit teaching of prosody and fluency. We explicitly plan lessons across the curriculum to develop our children's understanding of unfamiliar vocabulary. We use proactive strategies to ensure that our children develop meaning from the text. 
• Our writing approach has become embedded across School. Children in Reception take part in daily writing lessons (Drawing Club) to ensure that strong writing starts are made from the very beginning of their school journey. All of our children receive regular handwriting lessons to ensure consistency and fidelity to our scheme (Nelson). 
• We have continued to embed our behaviour policy to support all of our children in making good choices and being the very best versions of themselves – not necessarily for extrinsic motivators, but because they are proud to be good and desire to have good futures.  We are investing in OPAL (Outdoor Play and Learning) which will support our children and staff at lunchtimes to have fun, active and safe play and are developing our OPAL Play Team to ensure this success.
