What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 18 January 2023
Pupils are proud to belong to this welcoming school community. Pupils reported that they get on well together. Pupils trust adults to keep them safe from any harm. If bullying does occur, it is dealt with effectively by staff. Pupils benefit from a curriculum which aims to prepare them for the future world. Leaders have high expectations for pupils' academic achievement. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well. Children in the early years settle quickly and get off to a flying start. They are very well prepared for key stage 1. Across the school, most pupils demonstrate resilience and independence in their learning. They respond well to teachers' high expectations. There are times when a small number of pupils misbehave and get distracted from their learning. However, teachers deal with these occasions straight away and pupils quickly get back on track. Pupils, including disadvantaged pupils, benefit from an extensive programme of high-quality opportunities that enhance their learning. They enjoy being able to take part in a wealth of leadership roles. These roles include being house captains and elected members of the pupils' parliament.
What the school should improve
- A small number of pupils who have difficulties with reading read books that are not closely matched to the sounds that they know. This stops them from applying their knowledge of phonics successfully. This hinders their fluency. Leaders should ensure that teachers make sure that pupils read books that enable them to practise their phonic knowledge.
- In a few subjects, teachers do not always ensure that pupils have learned the most important concepts and knowledge that they need before they are introduced to new ideas. This means that pupils cannot always apply what they have learned previously to new learning. Leaders should develop teachers' strategies to check prior learning in these subjects to ensure that pupils know more and remember more over time.
