What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 September 2023
The school is a friendly, welcoming and inclusive community. Pupils value the warm and trusting relationships that they have with all staff. Leaders place a high importance on pupils' pastoral support. This helps pupils to understand and manage their feelings. Adults have high expectations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Behaviour in lessons and around school is calm and purposeful. Routines for pupils' future learning are established right away in the early years. Pupils' attitudes to learning are consistently good. They respect teachers and concentrate well in lessons. Staff encourage pupils to follow the school values of kindness, respect, responsibility and commitment. Pupils respond and act on these values positively. Pupils enjoy the wide range of clubs, visits and events at school. They value sporting activities such as the opportunities provided by specialist coaches in football, dance and karate. Pupils also spoke with great enthusiasm about how the school fosters a love of music and art. Pupils feel safe and are kept safe in school. Parents and carers are happy to send their children to this school. They value the school's nurturing and sense of 'family feel'.
What the school should improve
- For a minority of the weakest readers, staff do not ensure that they support these pupils to read with precision. This limits their ability to segment and blend sounds accurately. The school must make sure that all staff, including support staff and those who teach in key stage 2, provide all pupils with effective support to develop their reading fluency.
- In some foundation subjects, the school's curricular thinking is not well developed. It does not identify clearly the key knowledge and skills that pupils need to build from early years to Year 6. The school should ensure that subject leaders continue to develop their knowledge and subject expertise and bring about further improvements in how the curriculum is delivered and assessed.
