What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 November 2024
This is a happy and inclusive school community. Staff have high expectations for pupils' behaviour and achievement. Children make a good start to their education in the early years. Over key stages 1 and 2, pupils generally achieve well. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are well supported. Learning experiences are matched well to pupils' needs. The school sets clear routines that support pupils' behaviour. For example, pupils learn 'proud walking' so that they move quietly and safely around school. At social times, pupils usually play harmoniously. Staff supervise and manage any poor behaviour effectively. Relationships between staff and pupils are strong. This helps pupils to feel safe in school. The school provides a range of meaningful experiences to support pupils' social development. For example, pupils in Years 5 and 6 take part in social action projects. They learn communication skills and help groups in the local community, such as elderly residents in a care home. Pupils in Year 3 enjoy a range of shared experiences with pupils from two contrasting schools to learn about each other and become friends.
What the school should improve
- The school does not consistently make effective use of the information it gathers about different aspects of its work. When this happens, opportunities to make improvements are missed or delayed. The school should make sure that information is analysed effectively and used efficiently to inform next steps.
- In the wider curriculum, pupils do not have sufficient opportunity to revisit and expand upon the most important knowledge they need to remember. Consequently, sometimes pupils' understanding across these subjects lacks depth. The school should identify clearly the important knowledge and concepts that pupils need to know in depth and make sure that teachers know when to provide opportunities to re-encounter this important knowledge across the curriculum and over time.
