What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 28 January 2025
'It's like a happy family,' several parents said. This sums up the school's cheerful, caring and safe nature. Pupils enjoy attending. Pupils talk with great interest about their lessons. They play well together outside in the interesting play areas. Pupils are keen to take on responsibilities. They like, for example, being play leaders to support younger children at playtimes. The school is welcoming and everyone feels included. Pupils mostly behave well, particularly when staff provide the right guidance. Pupils say there is little bullying or unkind behaviour. On the rare occasions this happens pupils say that staff are quick to sort things out. Pupils know the difference between right and wrong. Despite the school's ambitions for its pupils, some do not achieve well. One sign of this was the drop in the published outcomes at the end of Year 6 in 2024. The curriculum does not help many pupils learn to read and write as well as it should. Some pupils do not form a good understanding of some of the subjects they study. The school is addressing these issues. Improvements are at an early stage.
What the school should improve
- The school does not ensure that pupils gain a secure grasp of the fundamental reading and writing knowledge they need to access other subjects and succeed. Some are not well prepared for their next stage of learning. The school must enable pupils to become fluent readers and writers.
- The curriculum is not implemented consistently. Some pupils' understanding of the curriculum is patchy. Many pupils find it hard to recall the key information that is taught in a range of subjects. The school should support teachers to carefully check what pupils know in lessons in order to adapt their teaching accordingly so that pupils form a secure knowledge of the curriculum.
- Governors do not have sufficient oversight of the academic standards at the school. They have not successfully challenged leaders to maintain and raise academic standards since the last inspection. This impacts negatively on pupils' academic achievement. The school should ensure it has systems in place to ensure governors and leaders have an accurate understanding of the school's strengths and weaknesses.
