What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 31 October 2023
Pupils are incredibly proud of their welcoming school. They feel happy and safe as members of the school's family. The values of respect, relationships and resilience are firmly embedded in the school's culture. They are highly evident in all interactions and learning opportunities. Pupils enjoy earning their 'gems' for each value and the subsequent celebration. Parents talk about these values in their universal praise for the school. There are high expectations set for pupils' behaviour, and they consistently live up to them. Pupils are extremely polite and considerate to staff and each other. In lessons, pupils are curious and excited learners who contribute well. They achieve highly and are well prepared for their next educational steps. The school offers an impressive range of extra-curricular activities. These are designed to widen pupils' experiences and nurture their talents. The timings of these are also well thought through, with before-school, lunchtime and after-school opportunities. They currently include fencing, sewing, archery and yoga. Pupils also benefit from a wealth of trust-wide musical and sporting events. There is a sense of shared joy when pupils sing together in assemblies or as part of the school's choir. Pupils take pleasure in performing to an audience at the Berkshire Maestros Music Festivals.
What the school should improve
- There are a few occasions when teaching staff do not have the necessary expertise to confidently deliver the school's intended curriculum. This means that sometimes pupils' misconceptions are not addressed. The school should ensure that all staff are confident and effective at being able to move pupils' learning along, building their knowledge and skills.
