What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 February 2025
Pupils are very happy at the school. They are well cared for, enjoy their learning and like spending time with their friends. Relationships between staff and pupils are strong, which ensure that the pupils feel safe. Pupils know they can rely on staff to help if they have any worries. The school expects pupils to live out its core values of being 'kind, honest, curious, brave, trying our best and working together'. Over their time at the school, pupils' wider personal development is supported exceptionally well. They are given the skills they need to get on very well together and be ready for the next stage in their education. Older pupils relish taking on leadership roles, such as being 'playground pals' for younger ones. The school's high expectations for pupils' academic achievement are largely realised. Staff do a good job in enabling the youngest pupils to build key knowledge and good habits for learning as they then move through the school. High levels of attendance help pupils benefit from what the school offers. On a typical day, there is a buzz of lively learning and play. This culminates in Friday assemblies, where the week's achievements are celebrated. Parents and carers are fulsome in their praise for the school's work.
What the school should improve
- Teachers do not always check that all pupils have understood new learning. This means misconceptions are not consistently addressed for those pupils who need further clarification, which hinders some pupils' achievement. The school should support staff in making sure they fully check pupils' understanding and provide additional support.
- At times, classroom activities do not enable all pupils to sustain their focus on learning. This means some miss out on key knowledge required to support their next steps. The school should consider more carefully how they implement the curriculum where pupils find it hard to maintain concentration.
