What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 26 November 2024
This is a wonderfully joyful school, where pupils have a clear sense of belonging. Parents and carers report that the school enables their children to 'bloom' and 'flourish'. Pupils keenly attend each day because staff make school an exciting and fun place to be. Clear routines help pupils feel safe. Pupils try hard to achieve the high expectations that staff have of their behaviour and learning. At breaktimes, pupils play kindly with each other. Older pupils help younger children to join in games. Values of friendship are evident in the patient ways that pupils treat each other with courtesy and respect. They are focused in lessons. Many pupils report that they 'love' their school. Parents of children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) praise the way that the school supports their children to develop. Staff are knowledgeable about the strategies that pupils with SEND need so they can learn. Pupils in the Rainbow Room receive a personalised approach. Staff shape learning to help pupils achieve the aims set out in their education, health and care (EHC) plans. Staff know pupils very well. This means that they are responsive to the ways that pupils communicate and learn. Consequently, pupils are calm and achieve well.
What the school should improve
- Teachers do not always present learning in a way that develops pupils' confidence to discuss and extend their thinking. This means that some pupils struggle to use and apply learning in increasingly complex ways. The school must ensure that staff have the expertise needed to help pupils to develop automaticity and fluency when applying their knowledge and across the full curriculum.
- Assessment approaches in some of the foundation subjects do not enable the school to check how effectively pupils are learning. This means that the school is not fully assured that all pupils are learning as well as they should. The school should continue to strengthen how it checks pupils' understanding in the foundation subjects, so it has more clarity about the impact the curriculum is having.
