What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 26 November 2024
Pupils love being part of this school. They feel happy and safe because they trust adults to help them if they have any worries. They look forward to coming to school every day. Pupils said the school is like one big family. Parents and carers value the school. They praise the real sense of community and know that their children are well cared for and enjoy their learning. The school aims for its pupils to be 'ready for the future'. Pupils respond positively to this. Pupils achieve well overall, particularly excelling in reading by the end of Year 6. Leaders and staff at all levels expect pupils to conduct themselves in a way that reflects the school's core values of friendship, respect and excellence. Pupils rise to this. They behave well, in and out of lessons. They are respectful towards each other and towards adults. They are confident, polite and courteous. The school trusts its pupils with positions of responsibility. House captains fulfil their responsibilities with care. Eco-warriors lead on the school's sustainability projects. Pupils contribute to the borough's pupil parliament with discussions about issues such as accessible playgrounds. Pupils learn about what democracy means, for example by being able to vote on what special days they would like to see take place in school.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes, teaching gives pupils too much information at once. When this happens, it hinders them from being able to secure and retain as much knowledge as they could. The school should ensure that knowledge is taught in a way that makes it more manageable for pupils to learn and remember.
