What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 September 2022
Pupils love to be part of this friendly and welcoming school. They described their teachers as kind, fun and helpful. Warm relationships between staff and pupils are rooted in the school's values. All are treated with kindness and respect. The school motto encourages pupils to be 'Caring, sharing and trying our best'. Children settle quickly into the early years centre and infant school. They learn about taking turns, making friends and looking after one another. Daily literacy, reading and mathematics lessons ensure they are suitably prepared for the next stage of learning. Pupils learn about the importance of treating others fairly and with respect. They behave well in lessons and at playtimes. Incidents of bullying are rare and dealt with quickly. Pupils are safe in school. The curriculum is ambitious. Outdoor learning is well developed. Leaders are determined that all pupils will succeed. Pupils enjoy their lessons and achieve well. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Parents are overwhelmingly positive about the school. They appreciate the work of leaders and staff in creating a supportive and nurturing environment.
What the school should improve
- New subject leaders have not had time to review, implement or monitor their new subject responsibilities. As a result, aspects of the planning and assessment of some foundation subjects are not as well embedded as they are in English and mathematics. Leaders should provide training and guidance for staff in teaching the foundation subjects so that pupils gain the subject-specific knowledge and understanding they need to achieve well in all areas of the curriculum.
