What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 December 2024
Pupils enjoy coming to this welcoming and friendly school. They feel happy and safe. There are strong relationships between adults and pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils know they can go to any adult with a worry and they will help them. Parents and carers value the school's nurturing ethos. The school is ambitious for all pupils to achieve well. Many pupils live up to these expectations. Pupils behave well. Classes are calm and pupils engage well in their learning. If pupils do lose concentration, adults promptly re-focus them. The youngest children learn the school rules of: be ready, be respectful, be safe, as soon as they start school. As a result, there is no disruption to learning. Pupils speak enthusiastically about the wide variety of clubs available to them. For example, choir, tennis, animation and Spanish. They are proud to be part of the eco-gang, or a member of the school council. Pupils in Year 2 take their role as house captains very seriously.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, teachers do not check well enough what pupils know and remember. Subsequent learning does not take into account pupils' prior knowledge. As a result, some pupils do not build their knowledge well over time and this slows the progress they make through the curriculum. The school needs to ensure that teachers check what pupils know and remember across all subjects and use this to inform future learning.
