What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 26 March 2024
The school has made substantial changes over the past few years, and this has led to clear improvements in pupils' experiences. Children make a bright start in early years. They form positive bonds with classmates and adults. This is because staff know the children well, and understand what they need in order to develop. Throughout the school, pupils enjoy learning and they attend well. The school is ambitious for all pupils, and the curriculum enables them to achieve well. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) benefit from effective support. Staff are thoughtful in adapting tasks so that pupils with SEND do not feel singled out. This reflects the school's commitment to inclusivity, which is shared enthusiastically by the pupils. Pupils typically behave with kindness, respect and an eagerness for learning. They are confident that any unkind behaviour will be dealt with by staff. Some classroom routines and expectations are still being embedded, and this leads to variations in some pupils' behaviour. Older pupils act as positive role models within the school. Groups such as the 'reading crew' and 'world caretakers' give pupils the chance to be leaders and to shape their school community.
What the school should improve
- The tasks that pupils complete do not always enable them to apply their learning in ways which match the ambitions of the curriculum. When this happens, the work that pupils produce does not consistently reflect the knowledge and skill that is expected in the curriculum. Leaders should ensure that tasks enable pupils to apply their knowledge consistently and in ways which align with the aims of the curriculum.
- The school's expectations of pupils' conduct are not always upheld consistently. In classes where routines and standards are not as well embedded, some pupils can lose focus and miss opportunities for learning. Leaders must support all staff to maintain consistently high expectations for pupils' behaviour, in line with shared policies and practices.
