What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 19 July 2022

Pupils love attending school. The school is a happy and safe place for pupils to make friends and be themselves. Pupils respect how some people are different from them. They support each other through 'mental health champions' and kindness on the playground. Bullying is exceptionally rare. If any problems arise, staff quickly resolve them through mediation and support and stop them from happening again. Pupils expect each other to behave well. They enjoy the positive rewards for doing the right thing. It is not often that poor behaviour disrupts lessons. Pupils quickly correct their behaviour and follow adults' instructions. Pupils, and children in early years, behave well. Pupils are interested by the school's curriculum. 'Hooks' draw pupils into the learning. Pupils say that 'learning is fun'. They talk with excitement about their lessons and the trips that link to the topics they are studying. A wide range of experiences compliment the school's curriculum and allow 'every child to shine'. Pupils embrace opportunities like being part of the many musical clubs, raising money for charity, and intergenerational work such as the 'Maldon Up' project. Older pupils are excellent role models for young children. The school's personal, social, health, economic (PSHE) programme and values curriculum effectively support pupils to be happy, confident learners.

What the school should improve

  • The school's chosen phonics scheme is new to staff and pupils. A small number of staff are still learning its processes and how to implement the phonics scheme consistently well. Some pupils are not getting consistent support with their phonics knowledge. Leaders need to ensure that all staff have the right knowledge and training so that the scheme is always well used.
