What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 March 2023
Pupils are safe and happy. They appreciate their warm relationships with staff. Parents say their children do well at the school. They value leaders' high expectations and how staff care for pupils. Pupils enjoy learning. For example, they delighted in designing gliders, electrical circuits and optical illusions during science week. They spoke excitedly about a visit to a local science museum. Leaders ensure that there are no barriers to prevent pupils from taking part in such activities. Pupils behave well. They follow routines eagerly and have positive attitudes to learning. As a result, the school has a calm atmosphere and learning is rarely disrupted. Bullying seldom occurs. When it does, staff act swiftly and effectively to resolve it. Pupils enjoy contributing to the local community. For example, they made a gingerbread man art trail for the village at Christmas, and they sing to local residents. Pupils value their roles on the school council and feel that staff listen to their ideas.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, teachers' use of assessment is not well developed. Where this is the case, gaps in pupils' knowledge and skills are not identified precisely enough. Leaders should ensure that assessment is used effectively in all subjects so that gaps in pupils' learning of the curriculum are pinpointed and remedied.
