What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 20 September 2023
Pupils love attending this warm, welcoming and friendly school. They show an excellent level of respect for every member of their school community. Pupils know how to be good friends to each other. The 'five Rs' of responsibility, resourcefulness, readiness, reflection and resilience are the golden thread running through all aspects of school life. Respect is evident in the way pupils talk to each other, to adults, and in the excellent behaviour that is always on show. The school has high ambitions for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The ambitions the school has are realised. Pupils love to learn and engage fully with their learning and each other. Inclusion is at the heart of all the school does. Pupils told inspectors that: 'Our school is really diverse, and we love that!' Pupils feel safe in school because they know there is always someone they can talk to when things become difficult, either socially or emotionally. The way staff care for pupils is impressive. The many activities available at lunchtime ensure that there is something for everyone to enjoy. Pupils summarise Burton Fields well: 'It's just a really nice place to be!'
What the school should improve
- The school has not developed a coherent approach to the teaching of phonics. This means that the small number of pupils who are still at the early stage of learning to read are not getting the right support to become fluent readers. The school should ensure that appropriate phonics teaching is in place for pupils who do not have secure phonics knowledge to enable them to become fluent readers, and ensure that all staff are suitably trained to deliver phonics well.
