What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 July 2023
Pupils love coming to this kind and welcoming school. Pupils are happy and safe here. Staff have high expectations of all pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils rise to these expectations. They work hard in class and achieve well. They benefit from a curriculum that prepares them well for the next stages of their education. This is a calm and orderly school, but also one where pupils can learn and have fun. Pupils love Betsy, the school dog. They are polite and respectful to adults and are caring towards each other. In early years, children follow a clear and consistent set of routines. Pupils are safe at this school. Staff know pupils well and deal with any concerns quickly. Pupils explained that bullying happens rarely. If it does, adults deal with it quickly. Pupils with SEND receive excellent support. Pupils have a wide range of opportunities to develop their talents and interests. For example, pupils can take part in outdoor activities, music tuition, sports competitions and residential outings. They can attend many clubs such as French, ballet, football or performing arts. Many pupils enrol in the school's 'Children's University'.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of foundation subjects, curricular thinking is not fully developed and implemented effectively. As a result, pupils do not develop a broad and deep knowledge in these subjects over time. The school should review the scope and sequencing of their curriculum, and teachers' expertise, to ensure that it allows pupils to develop a broad body of knowledge in these subjects.
