What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 June 2023
Pupils are happy at this school. They are enthusiastic about their learning, and they achieve well. Teachers know the pupils and families very well. This means that there are strong relationships across the whole school community. Pupils benefit from a broad and ambitious curriculum, which is enriched by regular visits outside of the classroom. Leaders have made sure that this curriculum is accessible for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Support for these pupils is a real strength of the school. Leaders have made sure pupils are developed beyond the academic curriculum. Pupils are encouraged to be considerate, active citizens. They know that bullying or unkind language are not tolerated. Pupils are respectful to their teachers and to other adults. Sometimes, pupils' enthusiasm and excitement in lessons prevents them from listening to their teachers. Children in the early years are prepared well for their transition into Year 1 and beyond. Similarly, pupils in Year 6 are ready for the move to secondary school. Staff are proud to work in the school. They feel very well supported by leaders and governors.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes, teachers do not apply the school's behaviour system consistently. This means that some pupils do not listen to instructions or settle to tasks quickly. Leaders should help teachers to establish routines and expectations more effectively so that pupils can learn in calm and purposeful classrooms.
- Sometimes, the curriculum is not delivered as leaders intend because teachers lack precision in their choice of activities, or in the instructions given to pupils. This leads to some gaps in pupils' knowledge. Leaders should ensure that teachers receive support and training so that they select and deliver activities that enable pupils to learn the key knowledge that leaders have set out in the curriculum.
