What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 24 June 2025
The school nurtures pupils to be happy and to succeed academically. Pupils learn to engage in class, to listen, and to value and respect others. They make friends easily and try hard. The school has high academic expectations for all pupils. Pupils' outcomes in mathematics and writing are very strong. In reading, the school ensures that pupils, including disadvantaged pupils and pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well. The school ensures that pupils have many opportunities to develop their interests outside of the classroom. Popular clubs include football, fencing and street dance. Pupils use an activities 'passport' to record the memorable experiences and life skills that the school organises. These include flying a kite and going on a picnic. The school arranges educational visits that develop further pupils' understanding of the curriculum. For example, Year 6 pupils visit a farm to understand food production from 'farm to fork'. Pupils in Year 5 board a river cruise on the Thames as part of a history topic on the river's use over time. The school fosters pupils' love of reading through author visits to the school and 'poetry slam' competitions.
What the school should improve
- Occasionally, the school does not ensure that pupils remember securely some of the key concepts and vocabulary that they need to know. This makes it harder for pupils to secure the prior knowledge needed to build knowledge in future. The school should continue its work to ensure that pupils retrieve and recall knowledge and vocabulary that they have learned, and check that this knowledge is embedded fully in pupils' long-term memories.
