What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 12 November 2024
Pupils are happy and safe in this nurturing school. Pupils build strong and trusting relationships with their teachers. Staff have high expectations for pupils. Pupils rise to these expectations. Pupils enjoy learning and achieve well. This is reflected in the improving outcomes at the end of key stage 2. The school's approach to behaviour is built on values that thread through the school ethos, such as kindness and fairness. Staff consistently have high expectations of pupils' behaviour. The school is calm and orderly. Pupils know and follow the rules and routines. This is leading to a speedy reduction in the number of suspensions. Pupils benefit from a well-designed and highly coordinated approach to enriching pupils' broader experiences. The school's 'global citizenship' programme threads through the values, curriculum and personal development provision. This prepares pupils well for the future. They build their awareness and aspirations of the many opportunities that are available to them beyond the school. Parents and carers are overwhelmingly positive about the school. They appreciate the lengths the school goes to in building strong community links. Parental engagement is high. Many rightly agree that the school is led with love and compassion.
What the school should improve
- On some occasions, teachers do not carefully check what pupils know and can do. When this happens, teaching is not suitably adapted to meet pupils' needs or build on what pupils know and can do effectively. This leads to some pupils not deepening their understanding securely. The school should ensure that all staff check pupils' understanding carefully and make the appropriate adaptations to teaching so that pupils are fully prepared for future learning.
