What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 January 2023
Pupils thrive in this school. They have positive relationships with staff, who know them well. Pupils are happy and feel safe. They listen carefully to each other and demonstrate positive attitudes towards their learning. All staff have high expectations of pupils' behaviour. These expectations are applied consistently across the school. Pupils are polite and considerate and behave well. Playtimes are sociable and harmonious occasions, with pupils from all year groups playing well together. Bullying is rare and, if it does occur, pupils are confident that it will be dealt with swiftly and effectively. Pupils value the extensive range of after-school clubs, which includes clubs for sporting activities, cookery, art and 'chillax'. Pupils enjoy assuming leadership roles, such as those of school councillor, eco-councillor or member of the worship group supporting collective worship. Leaders have pledged that all pupils will complete 50 enrichment activities before they move to secondary school. There are planned activities to support this, including visiting an art gallery, learning fitness exercises based on Latin American dance movements and visiting Chichester Cathedral. Pupils rise to the academic challenges set by their teachers. They enjoy lessons. They particularly enjoy reading. One pupil said, 'Reading is better than film - you can dive into your imagination and picture it how you want.'
What the school should improve
- In a small number of foundation subjects, the key knowledge that pupils need to learn is not yet identified clearly. Pupils do not achieve as well as they could in these subjects. Leaders should ensure that the curriculum builds carefully to support pupils to remember more and join their knowledge up so that pupils learn well in all subjects.
- Leaders know that persistent absence is very high. Pupils miss too much learning and do not achieve as well as they could. Leaders should continue to focus on reducing absence, supporting parents and carers to ensure that their children attend school regularly.
