What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 22 March 2022
There is a strong sense of community in this large school. Pupils are well cared for. Relationships between staff and pupils are built on mutual respect. Pupils say that they feel safe in school. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. They are highly engaged in their lessons. They are motivated to do their best because their teachers have high expectations of what they can achieve. Pupils are keen to share their ideas and opinions. They understand that everyone's ideas should be listened to. They say that bullying is rare. If it happens, they are confident that staff will help them to sort it out. Pupils are encouraged to become responsible citizens. Pupils are nominated for the headteacher's Kedzior award when they have made a difference in their local area. For example, pupils take part in litter-picking or organising a collection for a food bank. Pupils are keen to receive rewards for working hard, behaving well or representing the school in a positive way. Leaders have high hopes for pupils' future. Pupils attend an 'aspirations week', where they learn about a wide range of careers.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, leaders have not precisely identified the knowledge that pupils need to learn. In these subjects, it is not always clear how the curriculum is sequenced to support pupils to know more of the subject over time. Curriculum planning for all subjects should set out what needs to be taught and the knowledge that pupils need to know and remember from early years to Year 6.
- The early years curriculum does not consistently break down the knowledge that children need to learn. As a result, some lessons are driven by the activities that children will do rather than what they will learn. Leaders must ensure that key knowledge is clearly identified in all areas of the early years curriculum. This will ensure that children are well prepared as they move into Year 1.
