What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 30 January 2024
Pupils flourish at this school. Children in the early years quickly settle and make new friends. Pupils described the school as a fun place where they learn lots of new and interesting things. They said that the many trips and other activities that the school provides help to strengthen their learning. Pupils enjoy helping others. They described their many roles of responsibility with enthusiasm. These include being a school councillor, playleader or acting as a lunchtime 'buddy' to children in the early years. Pupils are proud of the awards that they earn to recognise the positive contribution that they make to their school and wider community. The school has high expectations for all pupils' achievement, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils achieve well. Pupils, and their parents and carers, value the support that they receive from staff. Pupils trust staff to help them overcome any problems that they may have. This includes if pupils find learning more difficult than their peers or if, from time to time, they fall out with their friends. Pupils behave well. They are kind and respectful. This makes the school a calm and happy place where everyone can focus on learning.
What the school should improve
- Some staff lack the confidence to support those pupils who find reading more difficult to catch up swiftly. This means that on occasion, these pupils find it difficult to access the rest of the curriculum. The school should make sure that staff are fully equipped to provide effective support to pupils who need to catch up with their reading.
