What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 28 March 2023
Leaders have created a welcoming environment at this school. Relationships between adults and pupils are positive and respectful. Pupils are treated as individuals and feel safe and nurtured. They are happy and enjoy learning the interesting curriculum that leaders have planned. Leaders have established clear routines and expectations for how pupils should behave. Pupils respond well to these. They behave well generally, and have particularly positive attitudes to learning in class. They enjoy being rewarded for doing the right thing. Pupils are enthusiastic about learning different subjects. Leaders are ambitious that all pupils will achieve well. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils who speak English as an additional language receive effective support. Pupils feel successful and proud of their learning. Parents and carers appreciate the ways in which the school helps their children with academic work but also develops their interpersonal skills. They said that children are well supported to get ready for the next stage of education.
What the school should improve
- Occasionally, phonics teaching does not address pupils' inaccuracies or misconceptions in a timely way, which limits some pupils' ability to read with fluency. Leaders should ensure that all adults check and support pupils' phonics knowledge effectively.
