What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 12 July 2023
This is a welcoming and inclusive school where pupils are happy. Pupils play together and are kind to each other. Play leaders ensure that everyone has someone to play with at breaktimes. Clear routines establish calm and sensible behaviour from children in the Nursery and Reception classes. Pupils are safe and well cared for. Bullying very rarely happens. When it does, leaders deal with it swiftly. Pupils learn about a broad range of subjects. Pupils engage in their learning and take pride in producing high-quality work. They enjoy the trips that link to topics that they have learned about. For example, a residential visit to the Isle of Wight links to pupils' learning in history about Queen Victoria and the royal family. Pupils talk with enthusiasm about themed learning days that take place during the year. These include a French themed day and World Book Day. Pupils enjoy opportunities they have to learn to play a musical instrument and to take part in sports clubs and competitions. This includes those pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) who regularly, and successfully, compete against other schools in sports festivals.
What the school should improve
- Despite leaders' efforts, the information and support provided to parents does not fully help them to engage with their children's learning at home. This means that not all pupils make as much progress as they could. Leaders need to continue their work to strengthen the support and resources that will enable parents to engage with their children's learning.
