What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 5 March 2024

Pupils are keen and eager to come to school. They look forward to their lessons and spending time with their friends. Pupils get on exceptionally well together. They make sure that everyone is included in playtime games. Pupils are respectful of and value differences. Pupils, and children in the early years, quickly settle into school life. The school has high expectations of pupils' learning and behaviour. Pupils across the school live up to these expectations. They listen carefully to their teachers and take pride in their work. Pupils are well prepared for their next steps. Typically, they achieve well in a range of subjects. Pupils embrace the wealth of wider opportunities that the school offers. They enjoy representing the school in musical and dramatic productions, taking part in sports competitions and learning new skills in clubs, such as origami. Pupils benefit from trips locally and further afield that widen their horizons, for example to London and France. Pupils are inquisitive. They are encouraged to learn about different cultures and religions. They enjoy learning about the world around them. For example, how parliament works or the challenge of climbing Mount Everest. Younger children are excited to find out the identity of their weekly mystery reader.

What the school should improve

  • The school is in the process of reviewing and revising a few subject curriculums. Previously, some pupils did not retain their learning in these subjects as well as they should. The school should ensure that it finalises its review of subject curriculums so that these identify the important knowledge that pupils need to learn, and the order in which this should be taught, so that pupils deepen their knowledge over time.
  • Some staff are unfamiliar with a few of the new subject curriculums. This hinders how well some pupils achieve in these subjects. The school should ensure that staff have the subject-specific knowledge that they need to deliver the curriculum consistently well.
