What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 26 November 2024
Pupils, parents and staff feel part of the 'Alconbury family'. Pupils are welcoming, friendly and polite. The school has high expectations for pupils in all areas of their learning, starting in the early years. Pupils enjoy being at school and make positive progress. Pupils know that when they share their feelings or any worries they might have, staff respond appropriately. This helps them feel safe at school. Pupils understand the school's expectations of their behaviour and know these are applied fairly. They behave well and engage positively with their learning. As a result, the atmosphere in school is calm and purposeful. Playtimes include many activities that develop pupils' social skills. Pupils get along well together and enjoy being active. The school provides pupils with many valuable experiences, including clubs, trips and visits. An impressive range of clubs, such as chess, cake decorating and karate, helps develop pupils' interests and talents. Pupils understand the importance of growing up in a world where diversity is celebrated. Pupils have opportunities to contribute to the life of the school through roles such as school councillors, eco-councillors, or worship leaders. They are proud to take part in these roles and can describe how they are improving the school.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes the tasks given to pupils do not align closely enough with the intended curriculum. Sometimes the activities and resources are not appropriately adapted to meet the different starting points or needs of some pupils. This means that pupils do not learn as well as they could. The school should ensure that the curriculum is implemented in a way that enables pupils to meet its ambitious aims.
