What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 8 March 2023
This is a friendly, nurturing and welcoming school. Pupils are happy to come here and said that staff are caring. Pupils behave well in lessons and the playground and are kind to each other. Staff have high ambitions for all pupils. Pupils study a broad range of subjects. Leaders strive for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), to achieve their very best. Pupils are not worried about bullying because adults deal with any concerns immediately. Pupils are safe and can always talk to staff about any worries they may have. Working relationships between adults and pupils are warm. Pupils enjoy playtimes, using exercise equipment and playing sports. They like reading in the well-resourced school library. Teachers plan exciting activities to enrich pupils' learning experiences. Children in Reception, for example, recently spent a day at the Natural History Museum learning about fossils and the people who collected them. Pupils in Year 2 visited the British Museum as part of their work around Ancient Greek myths and legends. There is a strong sense of community in the school. Parents and carers greatly appreciated the positive communication they have with staff.
What the school should improve
- In Years 1 and 2, teachers do not give enough attention to some technical aspects of pupils' writing, including their spelling, punctuation, grammar and handwriting. As a result, pupils' writing is of variable quality in all subjects, and many pupils do not achieve well enough in writing. Leaders need to provide further training for staff so that they can develop pupils' writing consistently well.
- Sometimes teaching does not identify and address gaps and misconceptions in pupils' knowledge. This affects pupils' deep subject-specific understanding. Leaders should ensure that all staff have a consistent approach to checking pupils' knowledge and skills before they move on to new content.
