OFSTED Inspection Reports
Our most recent inspection by OFSTED was in February 2024. We were very proud when the Inspector determined that we continue to be a 'Good' school with, once again, many positive features highlighted in the inspection report. Highlights include:
- The inspector finding that our children are taught with “…enthusiasm and skill.” and through an “…ambitious curriculum.”
- Reading being found as a key priority in school and that “Most pupils enjoy reading.”
- The Inspector discovering our children are confident mathematicians and appreciate the value of Mathematics.
- Reference to “Children in EYFS learn in a caring and exciting environment.”
- The Inspector learning that our children “…feel safe and happy.”
- Children with SEND not only access all activities but also “…achieve well in line with their peers.”
- That the Inspector saw that ‘…pupils enjoy positive relationships with adults.” and that they are “…friendly and courteous.”
- That our staff told the Inspector that they’re proud to work in our school.
- That you, the parents, have ‘…full confidence in the school’.

SIAMS Inspection
In 2018 we also had our first Church SIAMs inspection, where we were also graded as a Good school. This report and more details can be found via the Church School Tab on the menu bar.

Performance Data and Performance Tables
Performance tables are at the heart of accountability for schools. They provide a reliable and accessible source of comparative information on pupil progress and attainment. The performance tables present information alongside wider contextual data including Ofsted judgements, absense, workforce and finance data, and can help provide a wider understanding of the setting in which a school operates. The data is designed to be used as a starting point when considering a school's performance by schools, Ofsted, regional school commissioners, local authorities, Governors and parents. The Government School Performance Measures Website allows you to compare our school with other schools in England.

Our school has grown with our children and this meant that our first Year 6 cohort was in the academic year of 2019/20. Unfortunately, this year also saw the global Covid-19 pandemic. One impact of the pandemic was the amount of in-school education missed by children (around the world) and, as a result, statutory assessments were paused. This has meant that when looking at pupil progress, some comparisons are no longer possible.
We also publish our own breakdown of our performance, and you can find this in the side-bar on the right.
