What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 28 June 2022
Pupils are polite and welcoming at this school. They enjoy attending and have an enthusiasm for learning. As one pupil said, 'This school has a special energy.' Teachers have high expectations of pupils. There are positive relationships between teachers and pupils. Older pupils look out for the younger ones. Children in the early years benefit from the attention they receive from adults. Pupils feel safe and happy in this caring environment. The support the school provides for service children is a strength. Leaders ensure that they regularly check on these pupils. They communicate with parents and carers who might be abroad, including emailing photographs of their children. Pupils benefit from sharing school experiences, such as sports day, with parents who cannot be there in person. Workshops for 'little troopers' and a 'military kids club' also help support and celebrate these pupils. All pupils have an opportunity to develop their ability to work in a team and build resilience through a planned outdoor curriculum. They undertake much of this in the 'magical mystical garden'. This is an area of the school dedicated to outdoor learning and is home to the school goats 'Jammy' and 'Dodger'. Pupils know what bullying is. They are confident in reporting anything that they would consider to be bullying as they know staff will deal with it very quickly.
What the school should improve
- In some foundation subjects, there is not yet a consistent approach to how teachers assess what pupils know and remember. Some pupils are left with gaps in their knowledge as a result. Leaders should ensure that there is an effective approach to assessment in each subject that enables teachers to check what pupils have learned and fill gaps in pupils' knowledge.
- Some parents feel that leaders do not keep them informed well enough about how their children are doing or issues they have raised. Leaders need to ensure that they keep parents up to date with information about the work they are doing and the support they are giving pupils.
