What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 June 2024
Pupils learn a strong moral code in this school. This is based on the values that underpin the co-operative movement. Pupils talk keenly about how they show these values in how they care for one another and how they succeed together. This is a friendly place to learn. The school welcomes pupils of different nationalities and backgrounds. Staff speak many different languages. They are very understanding of pupils' and their families' needs. Pupils know that they can speak about any concerns that they may have and that adults will help them. Staff have high expectations for all pupils. They encourage pupils to be successful academically and socially. Pupils show a willingness to learn. They respond well in lessons and are keen to answer questions posed by their teachers. There is a calm working hum in the classrooms as pupils set about their learning tasks. Pupils are respectful of one another and of staff. During playtimes, many pupils initiate games and play with one another. Children in the early years, including the provision for two-year-olds, thrive. Staff ensure that those new to school settle into routines quickly. Adults constantly model spoken language well. They make sure that children learn new vocabulary and are ready for the move into Year 1.
What the school should improve
- While the school has designed a precise and well-sequenced curriculum, a few teachers do not make the best pedagogical choices to deliver the curriculum effectively. This means that occasionally, some pupils do not learn as well as they could. The school should ensure that staff receive training on the appropriate pedagogical and activity choices so that the teaching of the curriculum is consistently effective.
- There are inconsistencies in how effectively some curriculum policies are implemented. As a result, some pupils do not have the same experiences as most pupils in the school. The school should ensure that policies and procedures are understood and implemented consistently by all staff so that leaders' vision for the school and its pupils is realised fully.
