What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 25 June 2024

Pupils are happy at this school. Children in the early years play together harmoniously. Pupils are friendly and kind to one another. The school's motto 'only my best is good enough for me' is reflected in pupils' positive attitudes to their learning. They try hard. This helps them to achieve well, in line with the school's high expectations. Children in the early years get off to a flying start. In classrooms, most pupils listen attentively and follow instructions diligently. Pupils conduct themselves sensibly around school. They learn how to take on responsibilities, such as acting as reading buddies for younger pupils. Pupils spoke enthusiastically about their learning outdoors, including in the eco-garden. This includes developing skills such as resilience and problem-solving. Pupils benefit from a variety of wider opportunities to develop their interests. Pupils in Year 4, including those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), learn to play a brass instrument and perform in a concert. This helps to build their confidence. Sporting clubs are well attended. Pupils also enjoy a range of trips, including outdoor activity holidays.

What the school should improve

  • In some subjects, assessments strategies are still being refined. In these subjects, assessment methods do not help some pupils to embed learning and to use knowledge fluently. The school should ensure that assessment strategies are used consistently well across the curriculum and that teachers use assessment information to address any gaps in pupils' learning.
  • Some pupils do not have an accurate understanding of different religions, cultures and British values. This limits how well pupils are prepared for life in modern Britain. The school should ensure that the curriculum enables pupils to embed their learning about British values, and different faiths and beliefs.
  • There are gaps in the school's monitoring processes. This hinders how well the school can measure the impact of its actions. The school should ensure that there are rigorous systems in place to monitor the progress made against school improvement priorities.
