What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 8 October 2024
Pupils are well cared for in this happy and harmonious school. The warm relationships that they have with staff are mirrored in the ways that pupils care for each other. For instance, older pupils delight in sharing stories with their younger 'reading buddies'. Play leaders organise games for everyone to enjoy at breaktime. Pupils strive to behave in accordance with the school's values of 'learning, caring, believing, achieving'. They take pride in receiving rewards when they demonstrate these values. Starting in the Nursery class, children quickly settle into the school's well- established routines. This helps to ensure that the atmosphere around the school is calm and orderly. Pupils embrace opportunities to make positive contributions to the school community. For example, values ambassadors consult with other pupils about how they can help to improve the school. Subject ambassadors relish the chance to help enthuse other pupils about their favourite subjects. The school wants the very best for pupils. Since the previous inspection, it has taken action to strengthen the curriculum. This has been successful. Pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), typically achieve in accordance with the school's high expectations.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, the school has not ensured that staff are clear about the knowledge that pupils should remember to help them with subsequent learning. This means that staff lack clarity about the information that they should emphasise when they deliver the curriculum and when they check what pupils know and can remember. The school should ensure that staff have a strong shared understanding of this essential learning so that they can help pupils to build knowledge securely over time.
- On occasions, some staff do not adapt their delivery of the curriculum for pupils with SEND effectively. This hinders some pupils with SEND from learning as well as they should. The school should ensure that staff use the information that they receive about these pupils to support them to access and embed learning successfully.
