What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 12 November 2024
Pupils at this school are highly articulate, engaged and happy. They are kept safe. Pupils speak with confidence and respect to adults and with each other. This is because they are expected to take time to listen to and respond to one another thoughtfully. Staff support pupils to mend their relationships in the 'fix it corner' on the rare occasions they have disagreements. Pupils consistently demonstrate resilience and tenacity. They embody the school's vision to 'take an interest in others'. Pupils are proud to attend this 'rights respecting school' and show a deep understanding for their own and others' rights. Pupils are active citizens, and they campaign and raise awareness on several issues such as road safety and recycling. Pupils typically meet the high expectations the school has of them. Most achieve well, work hard and are highly engaged in their learning. Children get off to a flying start. They are enthusiastic learners in the Reception year. Older pupils build on this strong start, continuing to demonstrate positive learning habits throughout the school. For example, pupils show a keen interest in books and stories. They benefit from regular library sessions, workshops with authors, poetry days and visits to theatres, concerts and museums.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, the specific knowledge pupils need to learn is not identified or sequenced clearly enough. As a result, some pupils do not secure as deep a body of knowledge in these subjects as is necessary to be fully ready for their next steps. The school should ensure that it has identified the small steps it expects pupils to learn and when in each subject.
