What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 24 January 2023
The school motto of 'Ready, Respectful, Safe' is valued by all and underpins daily life. New leaders have reinvigorated the school by raising standards across the curriculum, improving behaviour and opening the new nursery provision. Pupils told inspectors that they love coming to school. They say it is easy to make friends here. Pupils proudly explain their learning and how staff and pupils here are kind and look out for each other. Parents recognise the many improvements. As one parent joked, 'The only thing my daughter doesn't like about this school is not being able to come in at half term!' Staff know each child as an individual, nurturing warm and trusting relationships so that they feel safe and secure. There is hardly any inappropriate behaviour or unkindness here. Pupils know how to be good friends to others and show genuine empathy and respect. They trust staff to resolve any worries they may have. Teachers promote reading skills well and foster a love of learning across a wide range of subjects. Pupils learn to work cooperatively and develop a broad range of knowledge and skills. Similarly, they benefit from an interesting selection of extra- curricular opportunities and participation in local community events.
What the school should improve
- Many of the improvements to the curriculum are new. Staff do not always adapt their teaching to meet the needs of all pupils effectively. Leaders need to ensure that all staff receive further training so they can support all pupils to achieve well.
- Teachers' planning in some subjects, such as art and design technology, is not yet as well sequenced as it could be. This means that learning in key stage 1 does not always build on the experiences and knowledge pupils have gained in early years. Leaders should continue with their plans to refine the curriculum in these subjects so that the essential knowledge and skills develop in a more coherent sequence over time.
