What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 27 February 2024
Pupils are embraced in the warmth of this school. Staff forge strong relationships with them and get to know their families well. One parent, typifying the views of many, told inspectors that their child 'had thrived' since going to school and cannot wait to arrive there each day. Pupils flourish academically, socially and emotionally. From the moment that children join the early years, the school's behaviour values are interwoven in all that they do. Pupils try their best during lessons, by listening carefully and working hard. They respond positively to the school's high expectations for their achievements. Typically, pupils behave and learn well. Staff provide pupils with a wealth of experiences that deepen their learning. Classrooms across the school are filled with a purposeful buzz. Academic, musical and sports talents are all valued and celebrated. Pupils appreciate opportunities to take part in extra-curricular clubs, such as choir and mindfulness club. They enjoy educational visits that help to bring their learning to life. School councillors, prefects and head pupils play an active role in the school. They organise events and act as a voice for other pupils.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the school is still determining the precise knowledge that pupils should learn and when this should happen. Occasionally, this prevents some pupils from developing a deep and rich body of subject knowledge. The school should refine its curriculum thinking in these subjects so that staff are clear about the precise knowledge that pupils should know and remember.
- Some of the curriculum in the early years does not link children's learning in the Nursery class to that in the Reception class. This means that some of the children's key knowledge does not build up as effectively as it could. The school should finalise its curriculum thinking in the early years so that children are even better prepared for their learning in Reception
