What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 8 March 2023
Pupils' well-being and care are at the heart of this school. Leaders' motto of 'Love to Learn - Learn to Love' is threaded throughout the school. Children at this school are a delight. They are courteous, welcoming and friendly. They enjoy learning and coming to school. Warm and respectful relationships between teachers and pupils are commonplace. Staff have high ambitions for every pupil, including disadvantaged pupils and pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). These expectations are frequently realised, and pupils do well. Staff know their pupils exceptionally well and regularly go above and beyond for them. Pupils behave very well and work hard. Lessons are calm and orderly. Pupils play well together at play time. They understand the different types of bullying and have every confidence in their teachers to resolve any incidents. Pupils are and feel safe. They have a good understanding of how to keep themselves safe in a variety of situations, including online. Leaders have planned a wide range of opportunities that develop pupils' personal interests. The many activities include trips, visits, external speakers and after-school clubs. Pupils speak with passion about their trips and clubs.
What the school should improve
- In some foundation subjects, the curriculum does not clearly lay out the precise knowledge and essentials skills that pupils need to learn. Much of this knowledge lies with senior staff but is not yet shared effectively. This makes it hard to share information with any other colleagues in the absence of leaders. Leaders should ensure that all staff know the intention of the curriculum in all subjects.
