What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 November 2024
Pupils describe the school as a fun, friendly and welcoming place to learn. Pupils behave extremely well during lessons and at social times. Pupils benefit from the extremely effective and well-thought-out support that staff provide. The mentor system, where pupils have a trusted adult who is there to guide, and listen, is superbly constructed. Pupils are overwhelmingly happy and safe in school. The school has high aspirations for pupils' academic success. Pupils achieve well. In the early years, children flourish as they start school. Pupils relish the substantial opportunities to go on trips and visits to counties and cities across the United Kingdom. This enhances and supports pupils' learning across the curriculum. Every part of the school grounds and building are used to enhance learning, from the school's forest to the thatched cottage museum. Pupils' talents and interests are fostered exceptionally well through a vast array of after- school clubs and enrichment opportunities. Everyone can excel in something, whether that be in sport, music or in a specific curricular subject. Pupils are proud of their recent participation in the mathematics, dance and football competitions.
What the school should improve
- On occasion, staff do not ensure that pupils apply their writing skills across the wider curriculum. As a result, inconsistent spelling, grammar and letter formation exists in some pupils' writing. This hampers their writing fluency. The school should ensure that staff enable pupils to build and consolidate their writing skills as they progress through the school.
- In a few subjects, pupils do not have the opportunity to revisit learning from previous units of work. This makes it difficult for pupils to remember what they have been taught. The school should ensure that staff recap the previous learning so that pupils know and remember more over time.
