What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 19 November 2024

Pupils enjoy attending school. The environment is well organised and welcoming. Displays showcase the broad curriculum that pupils experience. Pupils behave well. This is evident in classrooms and the way pupils move around the school calmly and sensibly. Relationships between children and adults are positive. Pupils are polite when speaking to visitors. They enjoy talking about what they have learned in school. Pupils learn how to stay safe, for example, when using the internet through the school's curriculum. Pupils take responsibility for a range of roles in school. For example, the 'reading champions' promote reading around the school and recommend books to their peers. Pupils enjoy participating in visits to interesting places that bring the curriculum to life. Pupils have opportunities to experience a variety of visits and visitors. Pupils enjoy a wide range of extra-curricular activities. Clubs are well attended by all groups of pupils. They develop their understanding of the world through a range of celebration days. The school has set high expectations for pupils. However, weaknesses in the way writing is taught means that pupils do not achieve as well as they should.

What the school should improve

  • Reading books are not routinely well matched to pupils' phonics knowledge. The school must ensure that reading books are better matched to pupils' phonics knowledge.
  • Some pupils with SEND are not given the support they need in lessons. Work is not well matched to their individual needs. This means that some do not learn as well as they should. The school should ensure that pupils with SEND are supported more effectively in classrooms.
  • The school does not give pupils the support they need to develop their ideas coherently when writing. Equally, handwriting skills are not taught consistently well throughout the school. This slows pupils writing development and affects their confidence as writers. The school should continue to ensure that the new writing curriculum is fully embedded so that pupils achieve the best possible outcomes in writing.
