What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 April 2023
Pupils thrive at this welcoming and friendly school. Pupils take pride in being responsible. Through the school's equality, diversity and inclusion committee, school council and eco- council, pupils help to improve the school. For example, as a result of pupils' suggestions, leaders have provided a 'buddy bench' where pupils can sit if they would like someone to play with them at breaktime. Pupils enjoy school and are well supported both personally and academically. Leaders have high expectations for all pupils. Beginning in early years, teachers think carefully about each pupil's starting point and help them succeed. Pupils treat one another with kindness and respect. They focus on their classwork and do not disturb others' learning. Pupils are proud to model the school's values. They are excited to win badges that reward their positive behaviour. Parents and carers are regularly invited to celebrate pupils' successes during special assemblies. Leaders organise a range of opportunities to support pupils' personal development, including choir, coding and craft clubs. Pupils are enthusiastic about competing as part of their netball and football teams. 'Buzz days' offer pupils memorable experiences, such as taking afternoon tea with grandparents to learn about toys from the past.
What the school should improve
- Teachers do not routinely help pupils to recall relevant prior learning and make links to new knowledge. As a result, new content that pupils learn does not build on what they already know as precisely as it might. Leaders should ensure that teachers help pupils to understand how new learning is linked to what they have learned previously.
- Some pupils have high levels of absence from school. As a result, they have not had the full benefit of the education offered by the school. Leaders should follow through on new procedures for monitoring pupils' absence to improve the attendance of this group.
