From the inspection on 22 February 2023
Pupils are proud to belong to this welcoming school. Adults know pupils as individuals and they provide them with high-quality pastoral care. Pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), and children in the early years are happy and feel safe. Leaders and staff are ambitious for all pupils, including pupils with SEND. Pupils endeavour to model the school's values of trust, equality, aspiration, compassion and happiness in all that they do. They live up to leaders' high expectations and they achieve well. Pupils are aspirational for their futures. Pupils show respect towards each other. There is an understanding of the importance of being tolerant of people's differences. Pupils behave very well in lessons and at playtimes. Pupils said that any incidents of bullying are dealt with swiftly. Pupils enjoy the extra-curricular activities that are available to them, for example the well- being and craft clubs. They also enjoy regular educational trips and residential visits. Pupils cherish the many leadership roles on offer to them, such as the junior leadership team which helps and supports younger children in the school. Pupils said that these roles help them to develop as responsible citizens.
What the school should improve
- Occasionally, some pupils are unable to recall learning from previous years. As a result, these pupils do not have the depth of knowledge that they should across subjects. Leaders should ensure that pupils are given sufficient opportunities to recap and recall important learning from previous years.
