What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 18 October 2022
Leaders' expectations are high across a broad range of subjects. Pupils learn the knowledge needed to prepare them well for secondary school. In the early years, children settle quickly to life in school and build strong relationships with one another. Pupils show interest in what they learn. They rise to the challenges presented to them and are keen to succeed. However, some younger pupils do not learn how to read quickly enough. Pupils take pride in their school. They show a keen interest in the running of the school and take on a range of leadership roles. For example, they act as library assistants to encourage children to develop their interest in reading. As digital leaders they help pupils to recognise the importance of staying safe online. The school is a happy place for pupils, where they feel safe. Relationships are positive and people are friendly. Pupils behave well at playtimes and show genuine care for one another. Older pupils go out of their way to include younger pupils in the games that they play. Pupils are polite and courteous to one another and to adults when moving around the school. If bullying takes place, adults quickly put things right.
What the school should improve
- Some younger pupils do not learn how to read swiftly enough. This is because the implementation of the curriculum is not consistently applied across the school. Leaders need to ensure there is clarity in the approach to reading so pupils build their reading fluency.
- Some pupils do not make as much progress as they could in some subjects. This is because some teachers are not clear about the school's approach to delivering the curriculum and assessing pupils' learning in these subjects. Subject leaders need to monitor carefully to ensure the agreed approaches to delivering the curriculum are being consistently implemented.
