What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 January 2023
Pupils at this school are surrounded by warmth and kindness. All the adults care about pupils' well-being. Pupils know that staff will always listen to their worries and concerns. Pupils are and feel safe. Bullying is rare and pupils say that if there are any problems, no matter how small, the adults will sort them out. Every pupil at this school experiences a broad and ambitious curriculum. School leaders are keen for them to aspire to greater things. Teachers teach them interesting and useful knowledge. If any pupil struggles to understand or remember, adults are there to support. Pupils experience a school environment that is calm and purposeful. This is because everyone in the school learns routines that help the school day run smoothly. These routines also help pupils to concentrate in lessons. Pupils know how to behave because teachers have taught them how to be kind and work hard. Pupils know that if they do the right thing, then adults will recognise this. A range of opportunities help pupils to develop their interests and talents. Every pupil has the chance to take on a responsibility, such as 'kindness ambassador'. Pupils can give back to the community, for example through raising money for charity. They can also take part in events, such as 'Ormiston's Got Talent'.
What the school should improve
- Some parents would like more knowledge of how SEND support works in the school. They do not feel they have as clear an understanding of provision for pupils with SEND as they might. Leaders should review and make appropriate changes to how they communicate with parents.
- The early years curriculum provides a range of opportunities for pupils to acquire new vocabulary, linked to topics learned. However, in some learning areas, the curriculum does not set out sufficiently the range of vocabulary that would enable children to have a deeper understanding. Leaders should strengthen the curriculum by identifying and setting out vocabulary to be learned in all areas of the early years curriculum.
