What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 February 2023
The school is an inclusive and welcoming environment, where pupils feel safe and valued. They play enthusiastically at social times, during which there is always plenty to interest them. Relationships between pupils and staff are positive and respectful. Pupils know the importance of the school's values and the difference they make. Leaders have made the school motto 'by the river we prosper' central to the life of the school, rooting it in the local community. Pupils trust staff to resolve problems quickly. Bullying is rare and if it does happen teachers deal with it quickly. Pastoral care is strong and ensures that pupils' physical and mental well-being is a priority. There is a focus on developing the skills pupils need to keep themselves safe, including when online. Pupils love coming to school and appreciate the many additional visits, visitors and activities on offer. They learn to express their opinion and understand the importance of valuing the views of others. Opportunities to take part in a range of events and have leadership responsibilities, such as school council and worship committee, help pupils gain important life experiences.
What the school should improve
- Teachers' subject knowledge is stronger in some subjects than it is in others. Where it is weaker, learning is not sequenced in small steps and tasks that enable all pupils, including pupils with SEND and the most disadvantaged, to achieve well in all subjects. Leaders should continue to prioritise professional development in those curriculum areas where teachers' subject knowledge is weaker so that pupils achieve the very best possible outcomes.
- Occasionally, staff do not insist on the very best possible behaviour. Some school routines are not commonly agreed and understood. As a result, some pupils' behaviour and attitudes are not as strong as they could be. Leaders should ensure that high expectations of behaviour, including attitudes to learning, are consistently applied.
