What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 November 2023
There is a strong and supportive community at the heart of this small school. The values of Ubuntu ('I am because we are') are lived out by staff and pupils. Pupils are happy and safe here because they know that adults take care of them. Pupils are considerate of each other, and new pupils are made to feel welcome. The school is ambitious for all pupils' learning. There is a strong reading curriculum. Pupils achieve well in most subjects. Leaders and staff are working hard to develop the curriculum in some other subjects so that pupils achieve the same high outcomes. The school provides many opportunities for pupils to develop their learning further. It makes excellent use of the local woods, where younger pupils enjoy regular outdoor learning activities. Pupils of all ages benefit from a wide range of trips and clubs, including the popular chess, cookery and taekwondo clubs. Pupils are encouraged to develop their musical talents, with many learning to play musical instruments. Pupils behave well in lessons and around the school. Older pupils are excellent role models for younger ones. Pupils take pride in their school and show great dedication in their roles of responsibility. Pupils make many positive contributions to their community, including volunteering and raising money for charitable causes.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, curriculum end-points are not sufficiently clear or well defined. This means that sometimes, teachers are unclear about exactly what the crucial knowledge is that all pupils need to know at each stage in their learning. The school should ensure that all subjects are designed to build pupils' knowledge sequentially over time towards clear and ambitious end-points.
- Sometimes, teachers' checks on pupils' understanding are not as precise or targeted as they could be. This means that some pupils lack focus during lessons, and opportunities to identify misconceptions for some pupils are missed. The school should ensure that teachers are systematically checking pupils' understanding with precision.
