What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 17 April 2024

Pupils are enthusiastic about coming to school. They like learning a wide range of subjects and spending happy times with their friends in the playground and singing together. Pupils behave kindly and respectfully towards each other and adults in the school. Pupils are confident that putting a note into the 'worry monster' and speaking to a trusted adult will resolve any concerns. Staff ensure that pupils are safe in school. Leaders have high expectations that pupils achieve well. The school provides pupils with education, guidance and opportunities to prepare them for their next stages after primary school. The school ensures that all pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), including those who attend the school's additional resource provision (ARP), benefit from all that the school has to offer. Staff guide parents and carers to support their child's learning at home. Leaders organise a wide range of educational activities for pupils that inspire new interests and broaden pupils' experiences, including outings to museums, galleries and theatres. Pupils attend clubs that enrich their learning, for example pupils are proud to wear badges awarded at Emerald Club for their mathematics skills.

What the school should improve

  • In a few subjects, recent revisions of the curriculum are in the early stages of being implemented. Occasionally, pupils are less secure in their learning of more complex ideas. The school should continue the delivery of the revised curriculum so that pupils deepen their understanding of key concepts in these subjects.
