What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 1 November 2023
This is a thriving school, permeated by warm and happy relationships. Leaders have created an inclusive culture where all pupils feel valued. High expectations are evident in all areas of school life. As a result, pupils develop a deep love of learning and achieve highly in most areas of the curriculum. Pupils know and live the school's 'RESPECT' values. As a result, there are high levels of regard shown by all. Pupils are polite and considerate of each other. Many have been awarded 'STEP' badges for demonstrating good manners. Throughout the school, incidents of unkindness are rare and pupils feel safe and well cared for. Pupils relish the range of clubs provided by leaders such as 'bustagroove', drama and magic. They enjoy the breadth of opportunities they have to be responsible, such as the highly coveted house captain roles. Year 6 pupils are proud to act as 'buddies' to children in the early years, helping with their transition into school. Parents are enthusiastic about the school's work. They value the school's high- quality provision and focus on pupil's personal development. One parent, summing up the views of many, stated 'they know the children really well and genuinely care'.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, the essential learning has not been sequenced clearly. Consequently, in these subjects, pupils' ability to recall and apply learning over the long term is hampered. The school should ensure that curriculum content is appropriately sequenced in all subjects, so that pupils know and remember more over time.
- Assessment in the foundation subjects is not used consistently well. As a result, future learning does not address gaps in understanding precisely enough. The school should ensure that assessment enables teachers to quickly identify and address gaps in pupils' knowledge, so that pupils learn consistently well across the curriculum.
