What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 December 2024
Pupils enjoy attending this friendly and welcoming school. They are happy and safe. Pupils are polite, well-mannered and courteous towards each other and adults. For example, pupils need no prompting to hold doors open for visitors or ask them how their day is going. There is a clear approach to behaviour which is understood by pupils and staff. This is most effective when it is followed by staff across the school. The school has high expectations for pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils work hard to meet these aspirations. This begins in the Reception Year where children get off to a flying start. Pupils build on this as they progress through school. By the time they reach Year 6, most pupils achieve well and are well prepared for the next stage of their education. Pupils enjoy trips and visits to museums, galleries and theatres. These are carefully planned and link well to pupils' learning. Pupils' talents and interests are fostered well by staff. Pupils enjoy many clubs and activities such as karate, art and choir. They take part in sporting competitions against other local teams and are proud of their achievements.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, teachers do not provide enough opportunities for pupils to revisit the essential knowledge that they have missed previously due to the legacy of the weaker curriculum. This prevents some pupils from having sufficiently secure foundations on which to build new learning. The school should address any gaps in pupils' knowledge and ensure that staff provide further opportunities for pupils to embed knowledge successfully.
- The school's work to establish effective assessment strategies is in the early stages of implementation. This means that, in some subjects, the checks on what pupils know are not as effective as they could be. The school should ensure that teachers gain the information that they need to secure and build on pupils' learning.
