What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 23 November 2022
Staff work with pupils and families to achieve the school's vision of 'working as one to achieve excellence through enjoyment'. Leaders have created a learning environment in which pupils thrive. Relationships between adults and pupils are strong. Adults are excellent role models. They work well as a team to support pupils. One parent, reflecting the views of many parents and carers, stated, 'The school is so friendly - my child loves it here and is flourishing.' Leaders have very high expectations. These are reflected in the quality of pupils' work in books and work on display throughout the school. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well across a range of subjects. Pupils behave well and have very positive attitudes to learning. They are polite and care for one another. Incidents of bullying are very rare; the use of discriminatory language is rarer still. 'There is no racist language here - it's just not nice to people,' was the response from one pupil when speaking with an inspector. When incidents do happen, the response of staff is swift and effective. As a result, pupils feel safe in school.
What the school should improve
- Although parts of the curriculum for MFL have been coherently planned and sequenced, this is still in its early stages. Pupils, including those with SEND, have not had sufficient formative experience to acquire the knowledge required to progress well in MFL. Leaders should ensure that the whole curriculum for MFL is well planned. They should ensure that teachers check what pupils know and remember and take account of any gaps in pupils' knowledge to enable pupils to build effectively on what they already know.
