What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 October 2023
This is a friendly, nurturing and welcoming school. The school has fostered a 'family feel'. It has high aspirations for all pupils, as reflected in its vision that pupils, including children in the early years, should 'aim high, believe and achieve'. The school provides a wealth of memorable experiences to bring pupils' learning to life. For example, pupils' knowledge of Ancient Egypt is enhanced greatly by museum visits. Pupils have a wide range of opportunities that develop their talents and interests. For example, they enjoy basketball, cookery and performing arts. The school prioritises pupils' well-being and safety. Staff form trusting, caring relationships with pupils. As a result, pupils feel happy, safe and valued. Pupils are a credit to the school. They are kind, courteous and respectful. Pupils enjoy school and behave well. Pupils are resilient when learning gets tricky. As a result, they have extremely positive attitudes to learning. Bullying is rare. Pupils say that there is always someone to talk to if they have any worries. Pupils are confident that adults will quickly sort out any problems that might arise. The school forges supportive relationships with parents. Parents typically praise the school for the sense of belonging their children have and the approachable, caring staff.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, the improved curriculum is in its infancy. In these subjects, assessment is not yet sufficiently well developed. Therefore, teaching does not check that pupils routinely build on previous learning. The school should embed the curriculum and refine assessment so that pupils are well supported to know and remember more.
