What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 November 2024
The school's vision 'working together, valuing everyone, learning for life', is central to day- to-day life. It is underpinned by the school's distinctive values. Pupils meet the school's high expectations set for them. They are committed to their learning. From Reception, children understand the school's expectations and routines. Pupils have positive attitudes to their learning. Their conduct is calm and purposeful. Pupils are confident and caring. They say that bullying is rare and if it happens, staff sort it out. Relationships between staff and pupils are warm and respectful. Pupils are safe and know that any concerns will be listened to and acted upon. All pupils feel that they belong. They look out for each other. Pupils understand and accept each other's differences. They recognise when someone needs help and step in. Pupils show the qualities of being a good friend. The school is inclusive and welcoming to all. The school's wider offer for pupils is exceptional. Pupils thrive through the broad and rich experiences the school provides. They benefit from a wealth of opportunities to develop their talents and interests. This results in very high attendance at clubs including sports clubs. Pupils are proud of their sporting successes. They enjoy singing in the school community choir alongside parents and carers and family members. Opportunities such as these help pupils to develop confidence and thrive.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the information from the checks teachers make is not used to ensure that pupils learn and practise the right skills at the right time. Therefore, pupils do not always build coherent knowledge. The school should ensure that assessment is used to inform future curriculum design and implementation.
- In some subjects, the way the curriculum is taught does not always precisely match pupils' needs. Therefore, pupils do not always build securely on prior knowledge. The school should ensure that the implementation of the curriculum allows pupils to build their knowledge effectively.
