What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 6 December 2022
This is a happy, nurturing and inclusive school. Pupils welcome visitors with a smile, showing kindness, politeness and respect. Pupils meet leaders' high expectations for behaviour in lessons, listening well and working hard. Pupils are not worried about bullying. They say if it happens, adults will always stop it. Pupils feel safe and can always talk to staff about worries. Relationships are warm. Most pupils enjoy playtimes, using exercise equipment and playing sports. Sometimes, excellent behaviour in class is not seen on the playground. Leaders are taking action to ensure that playtime behaviour is consistently positive. Pupils value trips to enhance learning and develop confidence. Highlights include residential activity weeks, museum visits and virtual workshops. Pupils enjoy clubs such as 'eSports', badminton, craft and singing. There is currently no playing field, so school teams regularly compete in events hosted by partner schools. Leaders never want pupils to miss out on opportunities. Personal development is boosted by pupil leadership roles. Pupils are proud to represent classes on 'eco' and school councils. Librarians promote reading, and digital leaders enjoy being ambassadors for technology. Older pupils love being buddies with children in early years. They enjoy being role models, and are dedicated to helping young children thrive.
What the school should improve
- Curriculum implementation is not yet consistent across all foundation subjects and classes. As a result, pupils may not know and remember more in all areas of the curriculum. Leaders must continue to support teachers to ensure that lesson activities match the ambition of the intended curriculum in all subjects.
- Pupils' behaviour is sometimes less positive during breaktimes. As a result, a small minority of pupils do not always enjoy playtime. Leaders must ensure that all staff understand and uphold expectations for behaviour outside.
- Some parents still do not feel that communication is effective. Leaders must continue their efforts to strengthen communication to develop positive relationships with the parent community.
