What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 29 October 2024
The school is a happy place. Pupils care about the school and each other. Many pupils hold elected positions of responsibility. They represent their classmates at meetings with school leaders to share ideas on how to make the school more environmentally friendly. Pupils regularly volunteer to help improve the school environment. For example, some pupils organised themselves into a team of library monitors. They take charge of making sure the books in the 'Magical Reading Garden' are well organised and inviting for all who want to use it. Pupils look after each other. Year 6 pupil prefects enthusiastically help other pupils to make friends in the playground and support children in the early years with their learning. Pupils behave responsibly and respectfully. Pupils are safe here and they feel safe. The school has high expectations for pupils' academic achievement. Pupils achieve these expectations regularly. This is reflected in their high attainment in reading, writing and mathematics that are tested and assessed nationally. The school encourages pupils to do their best. Pupils are enthusiastic about the opportunities to take part in competitions and events with other local schools.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes, the school does not pinpoint specific gaps in pupils' knowledge. When this is the case, teaching and support is not precisely focused to address them. This means that pupils are not helped to catch up as quickly as they could. The school must ensure that gaps in pupils' knowledge are identified and specifically addressed.
