What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 6 February 2024
This is a happy and lively school. Pupils learn about how to be positive, global citizens. 'Global ambassadors' explore links with schools in Africa. This helps them understand differences and similarities within the world. Pupils learn about other cultures and faiths. Cartoon characters exemplify the British values. This ensures that pupils are tolerant and have a sense of community. One pupil typically stated: 'If someone new was coming here, I'd tell them that everyone was friendly and caring'. The golden threads of 'be kind, be safe, be ready' ensures that pupils understand the expectations of them. These principles support discussions and check behaviour should pupils need reminding. This also applies to pupils' work. There are a range of responsibilities pupils undertake with pride. School councillors make the school a better place. They organise sponsored events and raise money for play equipment. The 'Well-Being Ambassadors' exemplify the importance of looking after yourselves. 'Winnie the well-being bear' helps pupils explore their own feelings. 'Winnie's hut' on the playground is a place where these ambassadors help and support others.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, the school does not yet check well enough how well pupils have learned the curriculum. It is not always precise or clear about what pupils know, can remember and can do. The school should ensure that there are systems to check on what pupils can remember and then make the necessary adaptations for provide pupils with that missing knowledge.
- There have been many improvements made at the school recently, but the school has not yet checked on the impact of a few of these. This means the school, including governors, does not yet have a clear view of the effectiveness of all it does. The school should check routinely on the precision of implementation of improvements, how effective they are and make any necessary amendments or changes.
