What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 July 2023
Pupils arrive at school excited to see what the day will bring. They are curious and enjoy learning. Classrooms are a buzz of focused study and activity. Leaders are ambitious for all pupils to learn well. This is an inclusive school where support and patience are shown. Pupils learn from a broad curriculum and achieve well. The value of respect is prized by all. Pupils firmly believe in treating others as they would like to be treated. Pupils are kind and tolerant of others. They are not concerned about bullying and trust staff to deal with any issues they raise. Pupils use the communication boxes in each classroom to pass on messages to their teacher. Leaders have high expectations for pupils' behaviour. Staff act as role models. Pupils behave extremely well, showing beautiful manners. The support for pupils' well-being is prioritised by staff. Excellent relationships enable pupils to socialise harmoniously with each other. During breaktimes, pupils compete playfully with friends at the exercise stations. Pupils play an active role within their local community. The children in Reception visit local care homes and bring joy to residents by playing games with them.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, leaders have not yet precisely identified and sequenced the detailed knowledge that they want pupils to learn. This includes in Reception, where the purpose of activities is not always clearly defined. This means that pupils do not always have the knowledge they need in readiness for the next stage of learning. Leaders need to continue to refine and implement a coherently planned and sequenced curriculum across all subjects.
- In some subjects, teachers do not always check precisely the knowledge and skills that pupils can remember long term. This means that they are not always able to adapt planning to address gaps in knowledge to ensure that pupils can build understanding securely. Leaders should ensure that teachers are clear on how they should check what pupils have learned, in readiness to embed new knowledge and skills.
