What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 18 July 2023
Pupils are happy to attend this warm and welcoming school. Leaders take extra care to support those pupils who join the school with English as an additional language. For example, skilled staff ensure that these pupils are well supported while their use of English is still developing. Leaders have increased their ambition for pupils' achievement. Improvements to the curriculum have ensured that pupils learn and remember more than they have in the past. Parents and carers told inspectors that they value the opportunity to attend rewards assemblies, where a variety of pupils' achievements are celebrated. Pupils feel safe in school. They know that staff will listen to their concerns. Leaders deal with incidents of bullying quickly and effectively. Relationships between staff and pupils are positive. Staff expect pupils to behave well in lessons and during social times. Pupils easily live up to these expectations. This helps to create a calm and purposeful atmosphere throughout the school. Leaders offer a range of extra-curricular clubs that enable pupils to try a new hobby, including samba and gardening club. French club is popular with Year 1 pupils wanting to make an early start on learning an additional language. Pupils also enjoy a variety of sports activities.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the implementation of the revised curriculum is in its early stages. Over time, some older pupils have not learned all that they should in these subjects and, consequently, they have gaps in their knowledge. As leaders roll out their improved subject curriculums, they should ensure that staff are suitably equipped to identify and remedy pupils' gaps in knowledge.
- A few pupils do not attend school regularly enough. This has hindered these pupils' learning. Leaders should take further action to improve the rates of attendance of these pupils to ensure that they benefit from the same learning opportunities as their peers.
