What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 6 June 2023
Children get off to a flying start in the early years. Parents and carers say their children feel loved, cared for and flourish at school. Staff know the pupils and their families well. Over time, pupils become confident, independent thinkers who are well prepared for the next stage of their education. Pupils are enthusiastic about their learning and wider opportunities. They praise the amount of lunchtime and after-school clubs on offer. Pupils are excited by these rich experiences. The activities such as choir and rugby help to develop pupils' talents and interests. Many pupils continue to learn musical instruments after whole-class lessons. Pupils are polite and well behaved. They play well together in mixed-age groups. This begins in the early years, where staff help children to share, take turns and listen to each other. Pupils show respect to each other and adults. Bullying is not tolerated. Pupils say they feel safe in school. There are many opportunities for pupils to take on roles of responsibility. They are proud to represent their school. For example, pupils may be elected to join the 'Active Crew'. Parents say that their children are proud to attend the school.
What the school should improve
- In some foundation subjects, leaders have not set out how they want pupils' learning to be assessed. This means teachers do not check and rectify misconceptions quickly enough. Leaders need to agree on assessment methods across these subjects and support teachers to use the information to ensure pupils know and remember more.
- Teachers do not have secure subject knowledge across some foundation subject curriculums. Consequently, learning activities do not always provide pupils with opportunities to secure and deepen their knowledge sufficiently well. Leaders need to support teachers to improve their subject knowledge to the same standard in all areas of the curriculum.
