What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 18 July 2023
Every morning, pupils walk excitedly through the school gates, bringing with them a tangible anticipation of what the day will hold. They look forward to learning in this safe and nurturing environment. Relationships between staff and pupils are warm and congenial. Unkindness is not tolerated here. Adults deal with pupils' worries straight away. Leaders have high expectations. The school's values of 'respect, responsibility, compassion, friendship, perseverance and equality' are lived and breathed by adults and pupils alike. Pupils are proud of the jobs they do and relish taking on responsibilities such as house captain, members of the worship team, school council representatives and as playground leaders. They appreciate that their voice matters. For instance, pupils have chosen the new playground equipment and agreed the lunchtime menu. Pupils talk animatedly about their assemblies and the termly performances, where they showcase their creative talents to their parents and carers. They are equally thrilled to demonstrate their sporting skills by participating in local and county tournaments. Pupils bring joy to the village by taking an active part in special celebration at the nearby church. Through trips to places such as Blenheim Palace, the Woodstock Museum and Hill End, pupils learn about their local heritage.
What the school should improve
- The curriculum in a few foundation subjects is not well structured. Leaders have not identified the important knowledge that all pupils should learn step by step. As a result, pupils do not learn as well as they could. Leaders should make sure that the curriculum in all subjects is well sequenced and coherent.
