What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 12 March 2024

Pupils are proud of their school and are keen to embody the school's ethos: 'Show respect, do our best, make the right choice'. Pupils are taught how to stay safe and how to ask for help when they need it. Pupils learn how to care for each other and their community. As a result, pupils, including children in the early years, are well looked after and kept safe. Pupils benefit from a range of rich experiences. For example, children in the early years visit the forest school each week. Older pupils are involved in fundraising initiatives that promote important causes such as disabilities and anti-racism. Pupils have opportunities to develop their leadership by serving as 'eco warriors', 'digital leaders' and as representatives on the school council. The school's curriculum is ambitious and carefully designed to match the breadth and depth of what is expected nationally. Pupils work hard and produce work of good quality. The school promotes a love of reading. For example, avid readers are rewarded using the school's 'golden tickets'. However, there are some inconsistencies in how reading is taught, limiting the achievement of some pupils. Leaders recognise this and have suitable plans in place to address the issue.

What the school should improve

  • Assessment is not used consistently well to check and correct pupils' misconceptions in reading. This means that some pupils do not develop as fluent and confident readers, limiting their achievement. The school needs to check how accurately the reading curriculum is implemented.
  • The governors' review of aspects of the school's work has not routinely been rigorous or timely. As a result, effort has not been sufficiently focused on the areas requiring the most attention. Those responsible for governance should ensure they have the information and training they need to hold leaders to account for their work to further improve the school and pupils' outcomes.
