What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 22 October 2024
The school's vision is based on the 'Parable of the Sower'; nurturing, growing and thriving. Pupils love telling visitors why they enjoy school so much. They are especially proud of the pupil parliament, recently electing a prime minister, chancellor, cabinet and members of parliament. They are very enthusiastic about the 'talk partners', where older pupils support younger ones in mixed-age classes. Leaders set high expectations for pupils. All pupils do well in reading. Many achieve high standards. Pupils know how to keep themselves safe. They particularly value the 'talk hub.' Here they can speak to an adult in confidence about anything worrying them or their friends. Standards of behaviour are consistently very high, in line with 'The Bayton Way'. Pupils show respect and understanding for each other, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils experience settings very different to their own, including a residential trip to London and a visit to the Weston-super-Mare beach. There are numerous opportunities for pupils to support the local community. They engage in 'Food Bank Friday' and sing at the local supermarket at Christmas to raise funds. Pupils take on responsibilities, such as becoming 'eco-leaders' and house captains, elected by their peers.
What the school should improve
- The school has not ensured that the quality of the additional support some pupils receive in mathematics is as effective as the teaching in the classroom. As a result, not all pupils do as well in mathematics as they do in reading. The school should ensure that pupils who need extra help in mathematics receive the same high-quality additional provision as they receive in reading.
