What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 May 2023
There is a strong sense of community here that pupils value in this welcoming school. Pupils benefit from caring and nurturing working relationships with staff. Leaders have high expectations for behaviour and for what pupils can achieve, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). As a result, classrooms are generally calm and orderly. Pupils follow the school rules well. This helps them to be kind, responsible and to try their best. Teachers support pupils to work hard in lessons and achieve well. Pupils trust the adults and staff in school. Staff care about pupils' positive mental health and well-being, as well as their learning. Pupils know that staff will always help to sort out any concerns and worries should they occur. Pupils enjoy taking on responsibilities. All pupils have roles on the school council. Other pupils have roles on the arts council, and some pupils act as safeguarding champions or as playground buddies. Pupils have lots of opportunities to take part in concerts, sports clubs and competitions. Leaders know the children and their families well. Parents and carers are very positive about the school and the work of staff.
What the school should improve
- In some foundation subject, leaders do not have a clear understanding of how content is sequenced from the early years to the end of Year 6. This limits pupils' deeper understanding in these subjects. Leaders should ensure that subject leaders continue to develop their expertise and bring about further improvements in how the curriculum is being implemented.
- In a few foundation subjects, leaders do not ensure that teaching checks pupils' prior understanding effectively. As a result, teachers do not ensure that pupils secure knowledge and understanding deeply. Leaders should ensure that all teachers use formative assessment consistently well so that pupils are fully ready for new content.
