What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 18 October 2022
Children, parents and carers and staff all love this school. They are proud of its values of 'wisdom, hope, community and dignity', which make the school feel like a family. Pupils learn how to keep themselves safe online and in other circumstances. Pupils know about bullying and are confident that if it happens, the teachers will deal with it. The school is calm and the pupils are polite and well behaved. Leaders support pupils to be the best version of themselves. This starts in the Reception Year, where 'Bussage Learning Powers' help children settle and develop lifelong learning habits. Leaders have designed a curriculum which inspires the pupils. Pupils have positive attitudes to learning, based around themes such as 'Jungle Fever'. Leaders organise trips and visits to bring learning alive. Pupils take part in the school parliament, which promotes their understanding of democracy and being active citizens. For example, pupils campaigned for solar panels and won the financial support needed. This is a good example of the whole school community working together to embody the school's values.
What the school should improve
- The support for pupils that are falling behind in their learning is not as effective as it could be. This means that some pupils do not catch up in their learning quickly enough. Leaders should further develop the curriculum, monitoring and training of staff so that this support is as effective as possible.
