What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 February 2024
Pupils enjoy coming to school and sharing what they are learning with visitors. Adults and children describe the school as a 'safe haven' for the community. Pupils are taught how to keep safe and how to ask for help. As a result, pupils, including children in early years, are kept safe and are well cared for. Leaders have high expectations for pupils' achievement. Pupils learn an ambitious curriculum and typically produce work of good quality in different subjects. They are well prepared for the next stage of their education. However, assessment is not consistently used well to identify and address misconceptions. This limits some pupils' understanding of key concepts in different subjects, including writing. Pupils demonstrate exemplary character. The school provides a wide range of opportunities for pupils to nurture their interests through clubs, including gardening and sports, as well as termly talent shows that all pupils can take part in. The school encourages pupils to learn about and celebrate different cultures, for example, Eid and Chinese New Year. Pupils take on responsibilities as Anti-Bullying Ambassadors, librarians and members of the school council, and delight in contributing to how their school is run.
What the school should improve
- Expectations of the writing that pupils produce are not consistent. This means that the quality of written work is variable. Some pupils struggle to demonstrate what they know and can do in a range of subjects. The school should fully implement their plans to prioritise writing so that pupils are taught how to write with increasing accuracy and fluency.
- The use of assessment to check pupils' understanding is variable. Errors and misconceptions are not consistently identified or addressed swiftly. As a result, some pupils do not learn the intended curriculum content. Leaders should continue to provide training to help staff to identify and address misconceptions so that pupils deepen their understanding across subjects.
