What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 October 2023
This is an inclusive school with a strong community spirit. Pupils are polite, friendly and inquisitive. They build positive and trusting relationships with teachers and other adults. The school seeks to give pupils the 'courage to shine'. It helps pupils to develop confidence, independence and compassion for others. The school has high expectations for pupils' achievement. Many pupils meet these expectations. They show positive attitudes to their learning and produce work of a high quality. Pupils respond well to teachers' feedback. They use it to develop and improve their work. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. From the early years, the school establishes a clear set of routines. As pupils move through the school, they take increasing responsibility for their own behaviour. This is a calm and orderly school where pupils treat each other with kindness and respect. Sport is a big feature of school life. There are several sports clubs and competitive teams. Pupils take part in other activities, including choir, art and science clubs. However, opportunities for pupils to develop non-sporting talents and interests are more limited. Pupils perform roles as reading ambassadors and house captains. Pupils in Years 5 and 6 work towards 'the platinum pupil award', a celebration of their contribution to school life.
What the school should improve
- Some activities in the early years learning environment are not purposeful enough. This means that children do not get sufficient opportunity to develop their language and communication skills or consolidate their mathematical knowledge and understanding. The school should ensure that it provides the training and resources that teachers and other adults need to provide purposeful and effective continuous provision.
- In some lessons, teachers do not adapt their teaching sufficiently to meet pupils' needs. This means that some pupils do not have enough practice in applying new knowledge and skills. These pupils do not have sufficient opportunities to deepen and extend their learning. The school should ensure that it provides the subject- specific pedagogical training that teachers need to enable them to secure and extend pupils' learning in all subjects.
