What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 3 December 2024

Pupils develop a strong sense of collaboration and community at this school. The school's values, including kindness and justice, are reflected in the way that pupils treat one another. This helps pupils to feel happy in school. In many areas, pupils benefit from the impact of the school's actions to improve the school. For example, pupils behave well in lessons and around the building. However, improvements to the quality of education are not fully embedded. Although the school has high expectations of pupils' achievement, these were not reflected in the published outcomes at the end of Year 6 in 2024. This means that some pupils left the school without the secure academic knowledge and skills that they needed to be ready for the next stage of their education. The school organises clubs that pupils enjoy attending. These include multi-sports, performing arts and photography club. The school provides many opportunities for pupils to take up leadership roles, for example as elected members of the school council. Eco- warriors led a successful petition for a zebra crossing outside the school. They also designed a peace garden in the playground, where pupils have space to relax and reflect.

What the school should improve

  • In some areas across key stage 1 and key stage 2, curriculum delivery is variable. For example, at times information is not taught as clearly as it should be, and at other times, teaching does not check that pupils know and understand what they have been taught. This leads to gaps in pupils' knowledge, which are sometimes not identified and addressed. The school should make sure that teaching is clear, that pupils' knowledge and understanding are regularly checked and that any gaps are addressed quickly.
  • Extra support for pupils who are behind their peers in reading is variable in quality. Pupils at the early stages of learning to read are not helped to develop reading fluency and confidence as rapidly as they should. The school should ensure that support enables those at the early stages of learning to read gain the knowledge and skills they need quickly.
