What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 September 2023
Pupils are proud to be a part of this happy and inclusive school. Children in the early years, along with any new pupils, receive a warm welcome. They settle into school life well and learn to uphold the school's values of kindness and respect. Pupils contribute to the school through the different leadership responsibilities offered to them. These include running their own sports clubs, being a house captain and being on the eco-team. They value the wide opportunities that are on offer to them. Trips such as visits to the local library and art gallery help to develop pupils' interests and talents. Relationships are warm and considerate. Pupils behave well and move around the school sensibly. They also feel well supported by the adults who care for them. Any concerns or worries can be shared in different ways, such as putting a message in the 'I wish my teacher knew' boxes. Pupils trust staff to listen to them and to keep them safe. Pupils are eager to learn and value the rewards they receive for their efforts. High expectations exist throughout the school. Pupils rise to these expectations and are keen to do their best.
What the school should improve
- The full implementation of the curriculum in some of the foundation subjects is not yet consistent. Some teachers do not yet have the subject expertise to confidently teach the precise knowledge and then check how pupils' understanding builds over time. The school is aware of this and should continue to carefully monitor the impact of their planned improvements to ensure that pupils' knowledge is secure.
- Some pupils are not yet attending school as regularly as they should. As a result, they are missing out on vital learning. The school needs to continue to strengthen its actions to support improvement in the attendance of these pupils.
