What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 29 November 2022
Pupils, and children in the early years, are happy, safe and confident. They live and breathe the school's mission to be 'Ready, Kind and Safe'. Pupils also respect and welcome diversity and difference. They are caring of each other and recognise when their peers may need additional support and help. Pupils talked enthusiastically about their school and about making friends. Pupils have the opportunity to take on responsibilities that promote and develop their character. For example, older pupils care and support younger pupils to access yoga sessions as part of their well-being programme. Leaders expect pupils to learn well. Pupils, and children in the early years, strive to achieve well in their lessons. They value and thrive on the learning opportunities provided by staff. Two-year-old children are equally well supported to learn, grow and develop. Children in the early years are well prepared for the demands of key stage 1. Overall, pupils across the school engage very well with learning. Leaders and staff have high expectations of pupils' behaviour. Pupils benefit from a calm and purposeful environment in which they can learn. Leaders quickly respond to any incidents of poor behaviour or bullying. They sensitively and carefully support pupils to regulate their behaviour, when required.
What the school should improve
- Some pupils do not read as widely as they could across all subjects in the curriculum. As a result, this limits the breadth and depth of subject-specific knowledge that some pupils acquire. Leaders should finalise their approaches to reading across the school.
