What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 20 September 2023
Pupils value the sense of family at this school where everyone nurtures and supports one another. They appreciate the positive relationships with staff and the care that pupils have for each other. This helps them to feel safe and happy. The school has high expectations of pupils' achievement from early years onwards. Staff provide timely support when needed to enable pupils to keep up. This helps pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), to usually achieve well across the curriculum. Pupils behave well around the school. They show high levels of respect for one another and staff. Behaviour in lessons is calm and orderly, allowing pupils to focus on learning. During playtimes, pupils from Reception to Year 6 play kindly together. Older children show great care towards the younger children. Pupils benefit from different activities and experiences to learn about the world around them. This includes a wide range of trips, residentials and clubs. Pupils are empowered to raise money for charity and get involved in discussions around sustainability in their local area. The school ensure that all pupils, including those who are disadvantaged, benefit from wider opportunities.
What the school should improve
- In a couple of wider subjects, the sequencing of key knowledge needs further refinement. This makes it challenging for teachers to emphasise the key content. The school should ensure that the important knowledge that pupils need to know is precisely ordered, emphasised by staff and then checked to ensure that pupils have learned and remembered it.
