What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 26 March 2024
Pupils flourish at this wholly inclusive school. Staff know pupils remarkably well. Warm and respectful relationships between staff and pupils are at the heart of the school. Pupils feel special and safe. The school's work with families to ensure strong attendance is highly effective. Parents are effusive in their praise for the leaders and staff. One, summing up the views of many, stated that this 'is the perfect environment for young learners'. The school's high expectations of the pupils are well established. Pupils live up to these and behave impeccably around the school. They are keen to learn and demonstrate high levels of resilience and independence. In the early years, children maintain high levels of sustained concentration, completing increasingly complex tasks, and are well prepared for Year 1. By identifying and removing any barriers to participation, the school ensures that all pupils can benefit from enriching experiences. Staff plan a range of opportunities such as visits to Marwell Zoo. These build on learning in the classroom. Leaders actively support local community clubs to ensure access for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). As a result, all pupils access a range of clubs, including specialist sports, and some write for the school's newspaper.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of foundation subjects, the curriculum is still being refined. This affects how well pupils acquire knowledge over time, because the key facts and concepts that pupils need to learn are not always clear to them and their teachers. The school needs to continue its work to ensure that the curriculum sets out precisely what they want pupils to know and be able to do.
