What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 June 2024
Pupils are happy to belong to this warm and friendly school. They particularly value the positive relationships that they forge with staff. Pupils are kind to each other. This culture of care helps pupils to flourish. Pupils are eager to learn. Their curiosity is sparked by a wealth of trips and visits which help to bring the curriculum to life. They said that teachers make learning interesting and memorable. In accordance with the school's motto, 'success comes through personal effort', pupils strive to try their best. This helps them to meet the school's high expectations of their achievement. Starting in the early years, children learn to live up to the school's rules. Across the school, pupils behave well and are considerate of others. They particularly delight in 'merit assemblies' which are a joyous celebration of pupils' positive behaviour and effort. Pupils benefit from the rich and varied extra-curricular opportunities that the school provides. For instance, from the Nursery class to Year 6, pupils participate in the 'grounds' programme. This includes growing vegetables and working as a team to complete challenges such as bridge building. These experiences help pupils to develop into confident and resilient individuals.
What the school should improve
- In the early years, the school has not completed the process of identifying what children need to learn in the Nursery and Reception classes. This means that in some areas of learning, a small number of children are not as well prepared for their key stage 1 learning as they should be. The school should ensure that subject leaders and staff in the early years are clear about the knowledge that children should learn so that they get off to a flying start when they enter key stage 1.
- In some subjects, the school has not ensured that teachers carefully check that over time, pupils know and remember the essential knowledge that is identified in the curriculum. This means that on occasions, some pupils develop gaps in their learning which are not swiftly identified and addressed. The school should ensure that assessment strategies are closely aligned with the intended curriculum so that teachers identify with accuracy where pupils need to revisit previous learning.
