What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 8 December 2022
Pupils, and children in the early years, enjoy attending this happy and caring school. Pupils live out the school's core values of tolerance, respect, ambition, courage and kindness in their everyday interactions. Pupils said that staff make sure that everyone is safe. Pupils, and their parents and carers, are proud to be part of this vibrant school community. Leaders have high expectations of pupils' achievement. This includes disadvantaged pupils, those pupils who speak English as an additional language (EAL), and pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Overall, pupils achieve well. Children in the early years are well prepared for the demands of Year 1. Pupils respond positively to staff's high expectations of their behaviour. They are polite, friendly, well-mannered and hard-working. Children in the early years settle in quickly. Leaders do not accept bullying. If it happens, staff deal with it quickly. Pupils participate enthusiastically in a wide range of inspiring cultural, artistic and sporting activities outside the academic curriculum. Staff give every pupil the chance to represent the school at a sporting event. Pupils enjoy taking on a wide range of responsibilities. For example, pupils are keen to represent their class on the school council and to act as reading buddies and library monitors.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, teachers do not revisit parts of the curriculum to link new knowledge to what pupils have learned in previous years. This means that some pupils do not remember some aspects of the curriculum as well as they should. Leaders should ensure that the curriculum in all subjects provides pupils with opportunities to revisit previous learning. This is so that pupils can build securely on what they already know and remember of different subjects.
