What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 18 July 2023
Pupils thrive here. School staff form nurturing, professional relationships with pupils. Many pupils said they can speak to adult in school if they are worried about anything. Leaders make sure that pupils are safe. Leaders, parents and carers work collaboratively to support pupils' welfare and well-being. Pupils enjoy working together and helping each other. For example, pupils in Year 2 take pleasure in helping children in the Reception Year to use knives and forks at lunchtime. Many pupils in Year 2 said how much they love supporting the younger children with reading. Pupils behave responsibly and considerately. If any incidents of bullying occur, leaders deal with these effectively. Leaders have ambition for pupils. Pupils' personal and social development is given high priority. Leaders make sure that pupils have opportunities to explore nature. Pupils have time in the day to take part in reflective 'mindful moments'. They have opportunities to share ideas about learning and submit their suggestions for weekly 'challenge' activities, which leaders include in the curriculum. Many pupils said they feel proud when their suggested activity is selected.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, the school has not identified and sequenced important knowledge in Year 1 and Year 2 fully. Where this is the case, pupils struggle to remember some important information. Leaders must ensure that important knowledge is identified and sequenced effectively in all subjects.
