What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 30 January 2024
This is a school that is built upon respect and kindness. Relationships between adults and pupils are warm and caring. A sense of family and community runs through the school. Pupils say they feel safe and that they trust adults to help them. Pupils look for opportunities to help each other. For example, older pupils enjoy role-modelling good manners and routines to children in Reception during lunchtime. Pupils are taught to understand different groups and people in society. As one pupil said, 'We are all different, and we should all be treated with care.' Leaders are ambitious for all pupils. Pupils with complex special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) who access 'The Bridge' are given bespoke support to help them in their learning. These pupils are encouraged to manage their emotions with increasing success. This helps them with their learning in the curriculum. Pupils are enthusiastic about their learning. They begin their work enthusiastically and present their work with pride. Adults manage behaviour in a consistent way. Pupils say that adults are fair. Leaders have ensured that there are clear routines that pupils follow around school. School is calm and ordered. This helps pupils to feel safe. Leaders are alert to instances of potential, or actual, bullying.
What the school should improve
- Systems to identify specific weaknesses in pupils' phonics knowledge are not precise enough. As a result, some pupils do not catch up with their peers in reading quickly. The school should ensure that assessment information relating to pupils who need to catch up in reading is used to closely inform the support that these pupils receive.
- There is more to do to ensure the school understands clearly the impact of its work on pupils' learning, achievement and rates of attendance. As a result, some opportunities are missed for the school to refine its actions and have a greater impact on pupils. The school should take action to better understand the impact of its work and refine or improve steps further to help pupils learn more and attend more often.
