What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 18 October 2023

Pupils enjoy attending this friendly and welcoming school. They are happy and safe here. Pupils know the 'golden expectations' and show kindness and respect to one another. Parents and carers say they feel part of a strong community. Staff take great care to get to know families well. Parents speak very highly of the nurturing and supportive environment that staff have developed. The school has a broad and exciting curriculum. Pupils talk with confidence and enthusiasm about their learning. They look forward to the many opportunities to further enhance their learning, including subject 'wow' days and taking part in trips and performances. Many pupils learn musical instruments and compete in local sporting tournaments. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), who achieve well during their time at the school. Relationships between pupils and staff are positive. Staff have high expectations of all pupils. Pupils know they will get the support they need to achieve. Many pupils experience being junior ambassadors and work alongside staff to help make improvements to their school. This includes the mental health ambassadors, who help to deliver assemblies. There are plenty of opportunities for outdoor learning and active play. Pupils in Years 3 to 6 support others to use the play equipment safely.

What the school should improve

  • Sometimes, tasks are not sufficiently matched to the subject content that pupils are learning. This means that some opportunities for pupils to apply their learning are missed. The school should ensure that tasks are closely aligned to what is being taught, so that pupils have opportunities to embed what they have learned in their long-term memory.
  • Some weaker readers, particularly those with complex SEND, do not consistently remember the sounds that they have been taught. This is because teaching activities are not as focused as they should be on pupils' learning. As a result, these pupils do not make as much progress as they could in learning to read. The school should ensure that these pupils have sufficient opportunities for more focused practice in sounding and blending and secure their knowledge before moving on.
