What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 30 January 2024
Pupils respond well to the unwavering high ambitions that leaders promote. The school wants all pupils to achieve their possible best. Pupils access a broad curriculum. They enjoy being taught new things. Staff encourage children in the early years to take risks with their learning and play. Pupils show a willingness to share and take turns. Staff develop pupils' reading and communication skills well. The school's approach to behaviour is built on a set of core values that threads through the school ethos, such as kindness and responsibility. Pupils know and follow well-established rules and routines. Staff consistently apply high expectations of pupils' behaviour. Parents and carers share positive views about the school. Pupils benefit from a highly coordinated approach to enriching the curriculum. They enjoy taking part in the extensive range of clubs, educational visits and wider opportunities provided. This includes tailored activities for disadvantaged pupils and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils extend their knowledge of the local area and beyond through visits to different places of interest, including museums, historical landmarks and through geographical fieldwork. Pupils are taught about other religions and beliefs. They strengthen their understanding by visiting places of worship, such as churches and mosques.
What the school should improve
- In some foundation subjects, leadership is at an earlier stage of development. This has limited the school's work to embed changes to curriculum implementation. The school should continue to develop subject leadership so that teachers are supported to gain the expertise they need to deliver the intended curriculum consistently and securely in all subjects.
- Rates of persistent absence for pupils, including those with SEND, continue to be high. This means pupils miss valuable learning and building their learning securely over time. The school should continue its work with parents to support them to improve pupils' attendance so that they attend school regularly.
