What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 January 2023
At the start of the day, pupils eagerly make their way across the playground and into class. Their enthusiasm generates a warm and friendly atmosphere which cascades throughout the school. Leaders have high expectations of pupils' behaviour. They have a strong focus on teaching pupils to be respectful and kind. Pupils play together sensibly at breaktimes, and bullying is not something pupils worry about. They say making friends is easy in this school. They feel safe and cared for. Pupils trust adults to listen to them and help them if they have any concerns. In lessons, teachers expect everyone to achieve their very best. All pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are taught a broad range of subjects. They are proud of their work. This enthusiasm for learning starts from Reception. Children confidently approach visitors to their classroom to talk about and share their learning. This is an inclusive school. All pupils benefit from a range of trips, clubs and residential activities to enhance their learning. Pupils are proud of their school. They spoke with appreciation about the wide range of opportunities they are able to participate in.
What the school should improve
- Leaders have not ensured that a minority of staff have the necessary subject knowledge and expertise to consistently implement the phonics scheme. This means there is some variability in implementation. Leaders must continue to focus on securing staff's knowledge so that every pupil learns to read independently and fluently.
- Pupils' depth of knowledge and understanding of different ways of life and equality and diversity needs to be further developed. All pupils need even more quality opportunities to considerately question and debate at a deeper level and engage with beliefs and ways of life that are different from their own. Leaders now need to continue the work they have started to weave valuable learning experiences throughout the curriculum.
