What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 June 2024
This is a welcoming and inclusive school. Staff have high expectations of what pupils can achieve. All pupils follow the ambitious curriculum, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils enjoy coming to school. They feel safe and know who to talk to if they have a concern. Pupils understand and follow the school's values and behave well. Children in the early years settle quickly into the school's routines and learn well together. Pupils value the help the school provides for their social and emotional wellbeing. Bullying is rare. Staff take swift and effective action if it does occur. Pupils appreciate the extra-curricular clubs they can choose to attend such as coding, cooking and football. The school is beginning to extend this offer and take on board pupils' suggestions, for example, putting on a curling club. Pupils are motivated by the praise given for good work. They enjoy taking up leadership responsibilities acting as lunchtime buddies, reading and mathematics ambassadors and members of the well-established student council. All members of the school community celebrate the school's diversity. Pupils get the opportunity to visit many different places of worship. They understand why it is important to respect different cultures and ways of life.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes the support for pupils who need help to improve their phonics knowledge and reading fluency is not as precise as it could be. As a result, outcomes for these pupils' reading and phonics are not as high as they should be. The school should sharpen their oversight of interventions so that support is suitably targeted and these pupils catch up with their peers.
- Sometimes, the school does not analyse as precisely as it could information relating to the impact of its policies and practices. This means that on occasion, leaders do not identify groups of pupils who may need additional pastoral or academic support to achieve as well as they should. The school should sharpen its processes so that it can address any variability between different groups of pupils.
