What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 1 October 2024
The school's ambition for all pupils to achieve well, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), is clear. However, pupils do not achieve as well as they should because the curriculum is not yet delivered effectively across key stages 1 and 2. Curriculum delivery is stronger in the early years. Pupils are happy and secure in this friendly and welcoming school. The school is the centre of the local community where everyone is welcome. Pupils benefit from many leadership opportunities such as being 'cluck carers', who look after the school's chickens. Opportunities such as regular talks with the local police officer help pupils to engage with their community and understand the difference they can make to others. The school's caring and kind atmosphere contributes strongly to pupils' well-being and their enjoyment of school. Staff encourage pupils to 'learn together' to grow as people and learners. Most pupils behave well and show kindness and empathy to each other. One said, representing the views of many, 'Everyone can have a different view and that is great.' Pupils feel safe and well cared for in school. They say that staff help them when they have any concerns.
What the school should improve
- Staff do not always use assessment well enough to check what pupils have remembered of the taught curriculum. This means that pupils have gaps in their learning. The school should support staff to routinely check pupils' understanding of the key content and then use this information to inform future teaching so that gaps in learning and misconceptions are swiftly addressed.
- The school does not identify the specific needs of some pupils with SEND as quickly as possible and adapt tasks to these needs. Therefore, these pupils do not always get the support they need. The school should continue with its plans to improve this so that pupils with SEND receive the additional support they need to achieve well.
