What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 24 September 2024
Pupils arrive here with a smile on their face and a spring in their step. They love coming to this school. Pupils are happy and safe here. They have a strong sense of belonging. Pupils have forged positive working relationships with all the staff, who know them and their families well. Behaviour across the school is exceptional. Pupils treat each other and staff with the utmost respect. Expectations are high and communicated fairly by all staff. Pupils quickly respond to instructions and guidance from staff. They demonstrate great enthusiasm in lessons, and when talking about their learning. Pupils play harmoniously with each other in the school garden. They have full confidence that all staff will take their worries and concerns seriously. Staff expect the very best for every pupil both academically and personally. Pupils rise to these expectations and achieve well. Pupils enjoy the many visits planned by the school each year, such as to farms and museums. Leaders make sure that every pupil has new experiences, such as trips and days out to adventure parks with their peers. Children in early years also benefit from regular visits to the local library, supermarket and post box. These experiences are carefully chosen and planned.
What the school should improve
- Occasionally, the checking of pupils' misconceptions is not identified during lessons or in pupils' work in a timely manner. This limits pupils' knowledge and skills to be fully prepared for future learning. The school needs to make sure that teaching identifies and clarifies pupils' understanding consistently across all subjects.
- In a few subjects, the curriculum is not designed to build on pupils' subject- specific skills and knowledge over time. This means that the delivery of curriculum content is occasionally not sequenced coherently, which limits pupils' deeper learning. The school should ensure that all subjects are sequenced clearly to build on pupils' subject understanding sequentially.
