What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 January 2025
Pupils are happy and excited to learn in this inclusive school. Pupils celebrate the school values of SPARKS: being safe, proud, ambitious, ready, kind and successful. In all aspects of school, pupils reflect on the values they demonstrate. Weekly Bright Sparks receive awards in celebration assemblies, and each half term, Super Sparks are awarded to pupils. The school provides high levels of care. Children quickly settle into school life. Children are taught how to behave and consider the feelings of others. Staff are consistent in their expectations of behaviour. As a result, pupils learn to play together and feel safe and secure. They speak confidently about trusted people to go to if they are worried about something. Pupils are polite and show respect for one another. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), consistently benefit from the school's rich offer of extra-curricular clubs. Children from Reception Year onwards take on meaningful responsibilities, including the school council and anti-bullying ambassadors. Pupils are reflective, active citizens at Damson Wood, and they care about their school and community. Pupils achieve well across the breadth of the curriculum. The school is ambitious for all pupils.
What the school should improve
- In some areas of the curriculum, the sequencing of knowledge and vocabulary is not as effective as it could be in ensuring progression for children from when they join the school at two-years-old. At times, this hinders children from building future learning. The school should develop the curriculum so that there is a clear progression from the start of school at two-years-old to the end of Year 2.
