What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 20 September 2023
Pupils enjoy school and are happy to attend. This is clearly reflected in their high rates of attendance. Pupils feel safe and supported by staff. In the early years, children demonstrate a clear enthusiasm for all aspects of their school lives. Pupils are kind and welcoming. Their behaviour across the school is exceptional. Pupils are keen to celebrate their achievements. They enjoy the responsibilities that they undertake. They have a range of duties and are proud to serve the school community. Pupils are especially keen to talk about their contribution towards the school being an environmentally friendly school. The school's curriculum has been designed to build on pupils' prior knowledge, to set high expectations for pupils' learning. In the main, pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well. Pupils' academic learning is complemented well by a wide, rich set of experiences that foster their talents and interests. Pupils take part in various clubs, many of which they have suggested. These range from a small-scale construction club to sports and cookery clubs.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, and including in the early years, some key learning is not made clear enough to help pupils remember it. As a result, pupils do not recall some subject-specific knowledge as well as they should. The school should ensure that it makes the intended learning clearer to help pupils remember what has been taught.
- In some subjects, the school has not refined the checks on pupils' retention of key knowledge over time. This means that gaps in pupils' knowledge are not identified well enough. The school should ensure that the checks on pupils' knowledge are more accurate when identifying aspects of learning that need to be revisited to help pupils remember more.
