What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 6 March 2024
Pupils enjoy coming to school and learning with their friends. Pupils are well mannered and courteous. Bullying rarely happens, if it does, pupils know how to respond and ask for help. Pupils feel safe and are kept safe in school. They know who their trusted adults are and are confident to raise any worries they may have. Pupils learn an ambitious curriculum that matches what is expected nationally. Pupils' wider development is carefully designed to enrich the planned curriculum. For example, when learning about local plants in geography, pupils plan a route to the Abbey Ruins. This helps them to appreciate the local flora and develop their citizenship skills in protecting the environment. Pupils have opportunities to serve in the local community. For example, pupils in Year 6 performed carols at a nearby church. There are a range of extra-curricular activities for pupils to develop their talents, including performing arts, choir, and boys' and girls' sports teams. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are fully included in the life of the school. Careful considerations are made so that they can participate in clubs and school visits alongside their peers.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, there are not sufficient opportunities provided for pupils to practise key concepts until they are fluent and automatic. This means that some pupils do not secure the knowledge they need before having to apply their understanding to more complex activities. The school should ensure that pupils' understanding is checked consistently so that they are supported to practise and secure a rich body of knowledge across the curriculum.
