What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 27 June 2023
Pupils are proud to attend this inclusive and welcoming school. They describe the school as a place where everyone is kind, helpful and eager to learn. Parents and carers speak highly of the way in which pupils flourish from the moment they start school. Leaders and staff have high expectations for pupils' behaviour. Pupils rise to this. They respond extremely well to the clear structures and systems that are in place. This starts in the early years where children listen to instructions carefully and show high levels of independence. Pupils' behaviour, both in and outside the classroom, is exemplary. Relationships between staff and pupils are highly respectful. Pupils are polite and courteous. They show good manners to adults and to one another. Pupils feel safe and know that adults will listen to them and help them with any worries they have. Pupils enjoy the wide range of clubs on offer to them such as judo, choir and Zumba. They value the opportunities they have to become house captains, buddies, eco-monitors and school councillors. Pupils say that these roles make them feel trusted and help them to act as role models to others.
What the school should improve
- Currently, the curriculum for some foundation subjects is not yet implemented as leaders intend. Consequently, pupils have not yet gained the depth of knowledge that they could. Leaders need to ensure that the curriculum for all foundation subjects is fully and effectively implemented so that pupils build their knowledge well.
