What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 27 April 2022
Pupils enjoy coming to school. They are excited by the facilities available to them. They like having a library with plenty of books to choose from. They also benefit from well- maintained outdoor areas. Teachers make use of these facilities when planning pupils' learning. Leaders and staff have high expectations of pupils. Everyone in this school aims to adhere to its motto: 'We do our best to be our best!' Pupils work hard in lessons. They are kind, polite and courteous. On rare occasions when bullying occurs, adults deal with it promptly and effectively. Staff ensure that pupils are kept safe at school. Pupils trust adults to look after them and to care for them. Pupils spoken to said they are confident to go to any adult in school if they have any concerns or worries. This is an inclusive school. Staff at all levels work together effectively, to promote the best possible outcomes for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). In response to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on some pupils' well-being, staff have been trained to help pupils to get better at explaining how they are feeling. Pupils learn to do this by talking or by using objects or pictures.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, leaders have not set out in full the essential knowledge that they expect pupils to know and remember. This reduces how well the curriculum enables pupils to know more and remember more in the long term. Leaders should strengthen their curriculum thinking in these subjects by determining exactly what knowledge and vocabulary pupils are expected to learn from early years to Year 2.
- In some instances, teaching does not fully consider how to support pupils to grasp and retain new ideas and information. This results in pupils finding it harder to understand more difficult content at a later stage in the curriculum. Leaders should support teachers to focus on ensuring that pupils remember key concepts and apply their understanding when studying new subject content.
