What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 February 2023
Pupils are confident and well mannered and enjoy school. They make sure that they do their best to make the school's values a part of everyday life, which includes being trustworthy, respectful and independent. Pupils are proud of their school. As a result, they are happy to take on extra responsibilities to make it even better. Pupils can be school councillors, playground buddies or e-safety ambassadors. The eco-council is proud of its achievements, and environmentalism is a big part of this school's wider curriculum. For example, pupils sweep up leaves or help make sure the school is free of litter. Pupils support others well. They respect family set-ups and backgrounds that are different from their own. The 'buddy reading' system is a valued time when older pupils help younger pupils develop their reading. Pupils also sponsor the training of a puppy for a visually impaired person. Pupils want to do their best, and staff reward this. Parents and carers receive a celebratory letter in the post when their child demonstrates the school's values particularly well. Parents, pupils and staff agree that pupils' behaviour is good, and bullying is rare. Pupils are rightly confident that adults will make the situation better if they need help.
What the school should improve
- Some members of staff do not have sufficient knowledge and skills to teach pupils who are struggling to learn to read. This means that not all pupils are learning to read as well as they could. Leaders need to ensure that staff have the full range of expertise that they require.
- Not all foundation-subject curriculums are logically sequenced. In these subjects, teachers do not always have clarity about the important knowledge that pupils have learned before and need to learn now. Leaders need to continue their work in improving the precision of sequencing in foundation subjects, so that the knowledge pupils acquire builds towards carefully designed, appropriate end-points.
