What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 5 January 2023

Pupils are safe and well cared for at this school. Lessons are interesting, and pupils can take on lots of different jobs that help others. Whether pupils start in the Reception class or join at other times, they are made to feel welcome. If they are new to the country and speak a different language, staff help them to settle in and feel at home. There can be some challenging behaviour, but staff deal with it well. Staff also do all they can to stop it happening again. Leaders take any allegations of bullying seriously and find out what happened and why. They treat everybody fairly and have high expectations. Most parents and pupils agree that the school's rules are consistent. They like the way that leaders and staff listen to them and attend to any worries they might have. They also value the different awards that recognise and reward pupils' good work and positive attitudes. Pupils enjoy school. Each day, reading is organised and taught very well. There are strengths in other subjects too, but also some aspects that are not as strong.

What the school should improve

  • The mathematics curriculum is not implemented as well as it could be. Sometimes, teachers' explanations or choice of resources are not carefully matched to what pupils need to learn. Leaders should continue to provide appropriate support to staff so that pupils in all classes can do as well as possible in mathematics.
  • Leaders have not thought enough about some important recurring ideas in a few subjects, particularly the humanities. This means that pupils can find it hard to see connections between new and previous learning. Leaders should review curriculum design to ensure that key, subject-specific concepts are revisited and built upon with sufficient frequency.
