What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 6 December 2022
Pupils are safe and well cared for. They enjoy the 'adventure' of learning something new every day. Pupils are encouraged to grow in confidence. They show a keen interest in sharing their ideas with their teachers and peers. Leaders have high expectations of all pupils' learning and behaviour. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils behave well in and around the school. They know the school rules and routines. For example, children line up quickly and move calmly around the school. Pupils confidently described different types of bullying, such as emotional and physical. They approach staff to share their concerns. Adults take appropriate actions with any problems that may arise. Leaders support pupils in developing their talents and interests. For example, pupils in Year 4 worked with professional jazz musicians in developing improvisation, composition, and performance skills. Pupils enjoy taking part in a range of extra-curricular clubs, including chess and multi-sports. Pupils value the contribution they make through the school council. They take pride in fulfilling their responsibilities as digital leaders and diversity champions.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, leaders have not clearly identified the sequence of subject-specific concepts that pupils learn over time. This means in some subjects leaders do not ensure that pupils build knowledge and skills logically over time. Leaders must ensure that the sequence of when pupils learn essential concepts is coherently defined in all subjects.
