What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 April 2023
Pupils thrive at this nurturing village school. The school's motto is 'with the wind in our sails', and this positive approach inspires the whole school community. There is an overwhelmingly positive and inclusive school culture. Pupils are taught to be respectful and responsible in thoughtful ways. Staff are constantly seeking to develop excellence throughout all of their work, helping all pupils to achieve well by the end of key stage 2. Pupils feel a strong sense of belonging and are proud of their school. One pupil said, 'If I could describe the school in one word, I would say 'friend' because everyone is like one big friend really.' Pupils know the school's values of hope, honesty, courage and compassion. They understand what these values mean and how they are celebrated in lessons, playtimes, assemblies and through the school's caring approach. Pupils have excellent attitudes about their learning. They speak with confidence about the way they support each other through groups such as the 'Eco Council' which helps to compost food waste from lunchtimes. One pupil said, 'It helps us to be responsible and get ready for Year 7.' Pupils say that love is the root value of the school, and this is echoed by staff through their warm, professional approaches towards each other.
What the school should improve
- Some aspects of the wider curriculum are not yet consistently implemented. This means that some pupils do not consistently learn key knowledge as well as they could. Leaders should continue to monitor, support and train all staff so that all pupils can learn securely in all subjects.
- The new early years curriculum is not yet implemented as effectively as it could be. This means that not all pupils build their knowledge and skills as well as they could. Leaders should ensure that the early years curriculum provides deliberate opportunities for children to develop detailed knowledge and skills across the seven areas of learning, enabling all pupils to thrive and be ready for their next stage of education.
