What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 8 April 2025
The school's three core values of respect, kindness and success embody its aspirations. Pupils strive to be invited to the 'Always Club' for showing these values. Staff have high expectations of pupils' attitudes and conduct. They apply the school's behaviour policy consistently. Classrooms are calm places where pupils can concentrate on their work. There are clear rules and routines to make sure that social times are safe and fun. In lessons, most pupils behave well and focus on their learning, trying their best and taking pride in their work. There are many leadership roles for pupils. They like having a say in school life. For example, the 'rights respecting ambassadors' set up a club for quiet, relaxing activities at lunchtime. The school ensures that pupils are safe. Staff carry out daily well-being checks to see how pupils are feeling. The school provides pupils with high-quality pastoral support. Pupils know they can share any worries with staff. Leaders have improved many aspects of the school since the previous inspection. However, they have not addressed some key issues effectively enough. Too many pupils do not achieve what they should in reading, writing and mathematics by the time they reach the end of key stage 2.
What the school should improve
- The quality of teaching is not consistently high in all subjects. Consequently, some pupils' attainment in English and mathematics at the end of key stage 2 is too low. The school must ensure that its curriculum is implemented effectively by staff so that pupils are well prepared for the next stage of their education.
- Some pupils' reading books are too difficult for them. This prevents these pupils from reading their books successfully by themselves and developing their fluency. The school must ensure that all pupils in the early stages of learning to read have books that are matched to the letter sounds that they know.
- The school's strategic planning does not address some of the most important areas for development sufficiently. As a result, the quality of education in some areas of the curriculum has not been improved as well as it could have been. The school and the trust should ensure that their actions lead to improved outcomes for pupils across the curriculum.
