What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 May 2023
This is a friendly school where everyone is welcome. Pupils typically describe their time in school as being 'happy'. They say that they feel well cared for. This sense of well-being starts from the early years, where pupils are carefully settled into school life. Leaders set high expectations for how pupils should behave. Pupils respond by behaving exceptionally well during lessons and playtimes. They are incredibly polite and respectful. Lunchtimes are filled with fun activities where everyone can join in, such as football coaching sessions and reading. Whole-school Christmas and Easter productions are a highlight in the school's calendar. Pupils take their leadership roles seriously. For example, they are proud to become worship councillors who regularly lead on collective worship. School councillors recently participated in a local road safety project to improve safe parking near to school. Older pupils enjoy their responsibility of supporting younger pupils with reading and as playground buddies. Pupils are taught a broad curriculum that is ambitious. The curriculum has been enhanced in recent years, with more emphasis placed on teaching pupils to read well. Most pupils achieve well in reading, writing and mathematics.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, staff do not consistently check that all pupils have understood important concepts and knowledge before moving on to new learning. This can lead to gaps in pupils' knowledge developing in these subjects. Leaders should introduce and embed a consistent approach to checking pupils' understanding across the whole curriculum, to avoid any gaps developing in pupils' understanding.
- A small number of pupils with SEND are not as ready for the next stage in their education as they should be, due to gaps in their learning. Leaders should ensure that staff have the necessary expertise to adapt the delivery of the curriculum to meet the needs of these pupils with SEND, so that gaps in learning are addressed effectively.
