What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 9 April 2024
This is a friendly place to learn. The school welcomes pupils of different nationalities and backgrounds. Staff are very caring and understanding of pupils' needs. Pupils know that they can speak about any concerns that they may have and that adults will help them. Staff encourage pupils to be aspirational for themselves. There are many opportunities for pupils to think about different careers. This gives them a purpose for their learning. Children in early years thrive. Adults constantly engage with children. They model language well, talking with children and sharing books. Routines are quickly established, with children new to school. Children show deep concentration in their chosen tasks. Staff have high expectations for all pupils academically and socially. Pupils respond well to these, showing keenness in lessons to succeed. Behaviour in school is calm. Pupils are respectful of one another and of staff. Pupil self-confidence, and the ability to articulate in a range of social settings, is at the heart of the school's personal development offer. Pupils take part in poetry slams, enterprise competitions and theatrical performances. Through their leadership responsibilities, such as preparing aspects of worship, pupils blossom.
What the school should improve
- Some pupils do not choose to read, or listen to, a wide range of stories and poems in school and at home. These pupils do not have the same love of reading as their peers. Furthermore, they miss out on opportunities to develop a wider range of ambitious vocabulary or improve their general knowledge. The school should develop further opportunities for pupils to read and appreciate a wide range of literature to help them develop a life-long enjoyment of reading.
- Teachers do not consistently check that pupils are spelling taught words correctly. Some pupils regularly spell common words and subject-specific vocabulary incorrectly. The school should ensure that all teachers make clear the expectations for using correct spelling and follow the agreed policy for feedback to pupils.
