What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 12 July 2023
The values of equality and respect thread through this welcoming school. Leaders have set an ambitious and inclusive vision. Everyone works together to live up to this. Parents and carers recognise the improvements that the school has made over recent years. One parent said: 'We are so proud of the school. It just keeps getting better and better. Staff go above and beyond.' Pupils are eager to learn. They work hard and achieve well. Pupils develop a strong moral code. They also develop a clear sense of what is right and wrong. This starts in early years, where children are taught to share and to listen to each other. Pupils are taught to recognise what bullying is. They know that leaders will act quickly if any instances of this occur. Pupils feel safe. They trust staff. They know whom to go to if anything is worrying them. They enjoy learning the full range of curriculum subjects and have many wider opportunities. They are proud of the school's achievements in sports and of their links with the United Nations. Pupils benefit from having leadership roles in school, such as school councillors and play leaders. This prepares pupils well to become active citizens.
What the school should improve
- Teachers do not ensure that the small number of pupils who have fallen behind in their reading have sufficient time to practise the sounds that they have learned. This slows down the rate at which they become fluent and confident readers. Leaders should ensure that all children who fall behind in reading frequently practise new sounds so that they become fluent and confident readers.
- Absence and persistent absence remain high for some pupils. These pupils miss too much school and are not learning as much as they should. Leaders should continue to build on and evaluate the work that they have already undertaken so that pupils' attendance improves.
