What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 12 October 2022

Pupils are happy members of this encouraging school community. They get on well together and make lots of friends. Pupils benefit from the strong relationships that they forge with staff. They know that staff care about them. Pupils also appreciate the time that staff take to get to know them well. Pupils are confident that if they reported any concerns, including about bullying, they would be dealt with properly by staff. This helps pupils to feel safe. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), respond well to leaders' high expectations of them. Pupils take great pride in collecting the praise points that they are awarded for their efforts. They behave well and are enthusiastic about their learning. Across the school, pupils achieve well in a range of subjects. However, because the early years curriculum is not well structured, younger children do not achieve as well as they should. Pupils enjoy the clubs that they can attend, such as drama and football. They talked excitedly about the sports events and performances that are on offer to everyone. Pupils are proud to make a positive difference to their local community by raising funds for a local food bank. Older pupils enjoy carrying out the special jobs that they are given, such as play monitors and reading buddies.

What the school should improve

  • Leaders' curriculum thinking in one or two subjects is unclear. This means that teachers are not sure of the important knowledge that pupils should learn and when this should be taught. This hinders pupils' achievement. Leaders should ensure that they set out clearly the essential knowledge that pupils should know so that they are prepared for subsequent learning.
  • The curriculum in the early years is not structured coherently. This means that staff are unclear about what children need to learn. Leaders must ensure that the curriculum in the early years sets out the important knowledge and vocabulary that children need to know and remember in readiness for their future learning. In addition, leaders should ensure that staff in the early years are able to deliver the curriculum effectively.
