What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 October 2023
Pupils are looked after in this school. Staff know them well and they respond to pupils' needs promptly and effectively. Pupils are confident to speak to any adult if they have any concerns. They can also use the 'message boxes' in their classrooms to share their worries. The school has invested in 'the space' where pupils can refer themselves for counselling. Pupils enjoy coming to school and taking part in activities in their spacious playground. Pupils behave very well, in and out of lessons. They are polite, confident and respectful towards each other. The school has high expectations for its pupils. Pupils achieve highly, particularly in mathematics, early reading and writing. The school is working hard to ensure that pupils' achievement is as strong across all areas of the curriculum. The school provides pupils with plenty of opportunities to engage with the local community. Pupils donate parcels to the local food hub and get involved in planting and composting at a local garden. Pupils also get to understand the world of work. For example, the school invited women in the construction industry to speak to pupils as part of their 'smashing stereotypes' day. Pupils have also listened to architects, engineers, and school alumni talk about their professions.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, the delivery of the curriculum does not ensure that pupils are secure in the knowledge necessary for them to make sense of new learning. When this happens, pupils struggle to grasp new concepts. The school needs to ensure that the teaching of the curriculum consistently enables pupils to secure their understanding of key foundational knowledge before introducing new ideas.
- Sometimes, pupils' understanding of subject-specific vocabulary is not as secure and accurate as it should be. This results in some pupils not knowing and remembering more of the intended subject content. The school needs to support pupils, so that they are acquiring a deep understanding of subject-specific vocabulary.
