What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 December 2023
Pupils live up to the school's value of the month for December - 'happiness'. They are proud when they are 'values award' winners. They enjoy school and are enthusiastic about their learning. The school wants every pupil to do as well as they can. Teachers make sure that almost every child is reading at the expected standard by the time they start Year 3. The school is highly supportive whenever a new pupil is learning English as an additional language. Pupils behave well in lessons and throughout the school. They are friendly and courteous to visitors and get on well with each other. Those pupils spoken to said there is always a trusted adult to turn to if they are worried. Pupils are well prepared by the school to keep themselves safe. Staff are vigilant. The mantra is, 'Just a niggle builds a picture.' There are numerous wider enrichment opportunities for pupils and younger children. They proudly performed for parents in the school's nativity play, 'Twinkle Town'. Every year, pupils participate in a local film festival. They make a film and premiere it at the local cinema. Pupils enjoy active links with a college in Uganda and a local care home.
What the school should improve
- The school does not ensure that leaders have sufficient time to carry out their subject leadership responsibilities as fully as possible. This means that the school does not have a sharp enough understanding of what needs to improve in different subjects. The school should explore opportunities across the two schools in the federation to maximise leadership capacity so that leaders have a clearer understanding of the strengths and relative weaknesses in subjects.
- The school has not ensured that, in some subjects, all pupils in the same year group receive the same curriculum provision. This leads to gaps in some pupils' learning. Leaders should ensure that the organisation of the curriculum for each year group results in pupils receiving the same intended curriculum content so that pupils achieve well.
