What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 May 2023
Parents and carers hold this school in high regard because it is central to its local community. As one parent, typical of many, stated: 'It is an amazing little school. I would recommend it to anyone.' Pupils enjoy coming to this school because they feel safe and like to be with their friends. This is because positive, warm relationships are prioritised for all. Pupils care for each other. They know that if they have any worries or concerns, adults will listen and help them to sort it out. As one pupil commented, 'We are all better, together.' Occasionally, some pupils' behaviour in lessons does not reflect the high standards seen at other times of the day. Pupils enjoy opportunities to take on different roles and responsibilities. Fruit monitors help peers to make healthy snack choices. Others support younger children to develop table manners as part of 'family dining' at lunchtime. Pupils enjoy the themed approach to the curriculum. They particularly enjoyed learning about fire safety after work on the 'Great Fire of London'. However, some subjects are not yet fully implemented. In these subjects, pupils do not recall the knowledge they need to know as well.
What the school should improve
- The school's curriculum is not yet fully implemented in a few subjects. Thus, in these curriculum areas, pupils do not retain and recall knowledge as well as they do in others. Leaders need to make the necessary adaptations to the remaining subjects. They must provide staff with the relevant knowledge and expertise so they can help pupils to know more of the school's intended curriculum.
- Systems and routines to improve pupils' behaviour, including in the early years, have been recently introduced. Aspects of these approaches are not fully embedded. Leaders need to ensure that the behaviour systems in school are fully established. They need to ensure that pupils' behaviour for learning and conduct are consistent throughout the school day.
