What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 March 2023
Pupils, including children in the early years, enjoy their time at this school. The cheerful greetings that they receive from kind and caring staff at the start of each school day help them to feel at ease, safe, and ready to learn. Leaders, staff and governors want all pupils to succeed academically. Most pupils live up to these high expectations and achieve well across a range of subjects. High-quality displays around the school and in classrooms bring many aspects of the curriculum to life. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), make friends easily because they care about each other. At breaktimes, they play happily with their friends in the well-resourced outdoor play area. Pupils understand that leaders and staff expect them to behave well and most do. They are polite and they move around the school in an orderly manner. Pupils feel confident that staff will listen to them if they have any worries or concerns. Leaders act quickly to resolve any issues about bullying. There is an array of extra-curricular opportunities to allow pupils to pursue their interests and talents. For example, pupils enjoy developing their musical skills as members of the school choir and their sporting abilities through their attendance at football and netball clubs.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, leaders have not checked sufficiently well that curriculums are being delivered effectively by staff. This hampers leaders in providing appropriate support for some teachers to deliver certain aspects of curriculum content well. Leaders should ensure that, in these subjects, curriculums are being delivered effectively in practice and that staff receive appropriate support to deliver aspects of curriculums when needed.
- There are not enough opportunities for some pupils to take on leadership responsibilities within the school. This hinders some of these pupils in developing as active citizens and being as well prepared to play their part in public life. Leaders should ensure that pupils are provided with more opportunities to act as leaders and contribute to decision-making within the school to further promote their personal development.
