What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 March 2025
The school provides a well-balanced curriculum. It has worked out the knowledge that pupils need to learn. In many cases, these expectations are ambitious. However, the curriculum is not always delivered as the school intends. Pupils, including some pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), do not achieve well enough. Pupils say that they are happy at this school. They feel safe and know that staff will help them with any worries that they might have. Staff praise pupils, and pupils enjoy working for class rewards and stickers. Pupils play together well in the playground. They enjoy playing with sports equipment such as balls and hoops. 'Sports leaders' support all pupils to take part in games and activities. Pupils enjoy taking on leadership roles such as school council and class monitors. The school celebrates diversity. Pupils understand the idea of treating everyone with respect. The school has high expectations of how pupils should behave. Pupils understand this, and most pupils meet these expectations. They are taught strategies to manage their feelings and emotions. They explain how the strategies are successful in helping them stay calm and on task. Pupils see the behaviour system as fair.
What the school should improve
- There are inconsistencies in how well the curriculum is implemented. In some cases, the intended curriculum content is not delivered. Sometimes, the work pupils complete does not help them to learn the intended curriculum as well as they could. This means that pupils do not achieve well enough. The school should ensure that the curriculum is implemented consistently well and activities are well matched to the intended curriculum content. The school should ensure that pupils achieve well across the curriculum.
- The school has identified strategies to support pupils with SEND to access and make progress through the intended curriculum. However, these strategies are not routinely implemented. Some pupils with SEND are not well supported to develop their independence. The school must ensure that the strategies identified are implemented consistently in order for these pupils to achieve success.
- The approaches to support pupils' reading fluency are not implemented consistently. Pupils at the early stages of learning to read do not benefit from effective opportunities to practise their reading skills. This affects pupils' achievement in reading. The school should ensure pupils benefit from routine and well-considered approaches to develop their reading skills.
