What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 20 April 2022
Pupils are proud to attend this school and would recommend it to others. They are happy and safe, and have a number of adults they could speak to if they were worried or upset. They learn about how to keep safe online. These lessons start in the Nursery. Staff send regular updates to parents on how best to keep their child safe online at home too. Parents are overwhelmingly positive about the school. They appreciate the communication, the approachability of leaders and the quality of inclusion, among many other things. Behaviour in lessons and across the school is calm. There is little to no disruption in lessons. Bullying is rare and is dealt with as a matter of urgency by staff. Pupils engage in a range of activities in the playground. Older pupils enjoy the 'tube train' in their playground. They use it to socialise in, to play board games in and to take shelter. Most pupils take part in the many extra-curricular activities on offer. These include football, chess, drama, gymnastics, cheerleading, skateboarding, art, coding and creative writing. Older pupils are keen to take on additional responsibilities, such as joining the school council or the green team, which planted plants in the peace garden this term.
What the school should improve
- Assessment procedures for foundation subjects are under review. Currently, information gathered for each pupil in each subject is not consistent. Leaders must make sure that their work on assessment is completed and implemented across the school, to best support pupil progress and curriculum implementation.
