What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 12 March 2024
The Freemantle school values of creativity, fellowship and courage are reflected in the daily actions of pupils and staff. Pupils celebrate each other's uniqueness as individuals. They welcome with open arms a community of over 57 different languages and enjoy learning from the rich knowledge this brings. Pupils' behaviour around the school and in lessons is excellent. They play happily with their friends at playtimes and make full use of the unique environment, including the many model dinosaurs around the school. The school is ambitious for pupils to achieve well. Many pupils join and leave the school at different times, some with little or no English. Staff ensure these pupils are quickly given the support to succeed. Overall, by the end of key stage 2, pupils make strong progress to achieve broadly in line with the national average. Pupils benefit from a range of carefully considered trips and visits. They fondly recall many of these, especially the trip on a steam train. The school provides many opportunities which broaden pupils' understanding of physical and mental well-being through bespoke first aid and food hygiene training. The mental health ambassadors have a high profile. They make a tangible contribution to support fellow pupils on the playground.
What the school should improve
- Some of the curriculum is new and so the task design is not fully refined. This means that some pupils' work does not reflect the full ambition of the curriculum. The school should continue their work to ensure that task design supports all pupils to learn and remember the most important knowledge and skills.
