Finedon Mulso Junior School provides a happy and caring environment for its pupils. Pupils enjoy coming to school. They display positive attitudes to all aspects of school life. The school is inclusive. Pupils say that everyone feels welcome here. The school's values support its Christian ethos. Pupils understand these values well. They demonstrate them through their actions. Pupils say that they feel safe in this school. Bullying does not happen often. If it does happen, leaders deal with it quickly. Leaders have planned a 'Thriving at Finedon' curriculum for behaviour. Pupils are calm and orderly in classrooms and around school. Disruptions to learning are rare. Pupils enjoy a wide range of extra-curricular opportunities. These include day trips and residential visits, where they take part in outdoor activities. They also enjoy lots of clubs in school, such as dance, choir, board games and art, as well as a range of sports. The school choir performs at church and community events. Year 6 pupils perform a play at the local theatre. Leaders encourage all pupils to take part in these activities. Pupils learn how to be fit and healthy. They all take part in a daily skipping session.
What the school should improve
- A significant minority of disadvantaged pupils are absent from school too often. They miss too many lessons and do not have the opportunity to follow the curriculum in full. Leaders need to ensure that all pupils attend school well.
- In some foundation subjects, leaders have not planned well enough how they will check that pupils can remember the important knowledge they have learned. Leaders do not know how well pupils are following the curriculum in these subjects. Teachers do not have the information they need to adapt plans to meet pupils' needs. Leaders need to plan how teachers should check what pupils can remember about what they have learned.
