What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 12 November 2024
This school's ambition for all pupils to 'Let Your Light Shine' resonates through every interaction and activity. Each day, pupils are welcomed warmly by staff. All staff know every pupil exceptionally well. This means that staff bring out the best in everyone, exploring interests and celebrating their successes in or outside of school. Pupils love coming to this school where they have such a nurturing start. Pupils embody the values of the school: love, honesty, respect, perseverance, resilience and stewardship. These enable pupils to live up to the school's high expectations as they learn important habits so that they thrive and achieve well academically. Consequently, pupils are motivated, happy learners who are ready for their next steps. The wider development of pupils is a real strength of the school. Pupils learn how to express their views constructively and stand up for what they believe in. For example, pupils wrote to the local MP to express their views. They develop a strong moral compass and confidence. For example, they take on leadership roles and compete against other local schools in sports. Pupils engage with the wider community, such as showcasing their art in the local church and inviting villagers to performances at the school.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes the tasks that teachers use do not challenge pupils to deepen their knowledge as effectively as they could. This means that, at times, pupils are moved on before they have developed the depth of understanding that they could. Teachers should ensure that tasks are carefully considered so that these can be adapted to challenge pupils and support pupils as needed.
- Children in the early years do not consistently benefit from high-quality verbal interactions with some adults. This means that some children do not develop their communication and language skills as quickly as they could. The school should continue their ongoing work to strengthen teaching in the early years through appropriate training, support and guidance for staff.
