What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 December 2022
Pupils thoroughly enjoy coming to school. The school's motto, 'nurturing every talent', is indeed pupils' experience during their time here. Pupils highly value the wide range of opportunities they have for personal development. From camping to participating in the three tors event, pupils build independence and the ability to think for themselves. This begins in the Nursery where children develop their talents and learn to work and play together, both indoors and outdoors. Pupils behave well. They listen attentively and produce high-quality work. During breaktimes, pupils play well together. They can choose independently from a range of activities. Pupils know adults' high expectations of them and are successful in meeting these . Rewards and sanctions are used fairly and consistently across the school, which pupils value. Pupils feel happy and well cared for. Relationships between adults and pupils are warm and encouraging. Consequently, trust is high, and pupils feel safe. Bullying is very rare, and pupils are confident that adults deal effectively with any worries they might have. Parents value efficient communication about their child's learning and school events. They appreciate the many extra-curricular activities on offer to pupils.
What the school should improve
- In mathematics, teaching does not always provide pupils with the most appropriate learning or support. This means that pupils do not learn as well as they could. Leaders must ensure that teaching strategies and support enable pupils to learn effectively.
- A few subject curriculums are not as well developed as others. Consequently, pupils do not build on what they already know as effectively as they do in most subjects. Leaders must ensure that these curriculums are fully embedded so that teaching helps pupils to know and remember more and that pupils are well prepared for what comes next.
