What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 July 2023
This is a school where everyone is made to feel welcome. The well-being of pupils and their families is at the heart of the school's work. Staff develop strong relationships with parents and carers. They do this, for example, by working closely with local businesses to provide support for families. Pupils enjoy coming to school early to meet with their friends at the school's free breakfast club. Leaders are ambitious for all pupils. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Many pupils arrive and leave at different points during the school year. Most of these pupils arrive with English as an additional language or speaking no English. These pupils achieve well as they progress through the school. Staff ensure that the school is a nurturing environment. Parents value the care and understanding of staff in helping pupils to feel at home. The school's curriculum for behaviour and personal development is exceptional. Pupils have a strong understanding of the school's value 'show you care'. They look after each other through their roles as class buddies. This helps everyone to feel included. Pupils are happy and feel safe in school. There are high levels of respect between staff and pupils. On the rare occasion that bullying happens, leaders take prompt and effective action.
What the school should improve
- In the early years, some staff do not have the expertise to support children's learning in all areas well enough. As a result, some children are not prepared as well as they could be for future learning. Leaders should ensure that all staff in the early years have the necessary knowledge and expertise, including in writing, so that children develop detailed knowledge and skills across the whole curriculum.
- Leaders' work on improving pupils' attendance has not yet had an impact on improving attendance for pupils who do not attend school regularly. These pupils, therefore, miss out on important learning. Leaders should continue to work with pupils and their families to improve attendance.
