What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 January 2025
Pupils are very proud of their school. They are happy and enjoy their learning. Many pupils speak positively about the subjects they study. Their behaviour is exemplary. Pupils demonstrate the school's core values, 'ready respectful and safe'. Pupils feel safe and know there are numerous adults they can go to if they feel worried. The school teaches character development explicitly from Nursery onwards. It develops throughout pupils' time in school. Pupils respect differences locally and in the wider world. They celebrate diversity through the role models they study, for example, during Black History Month. The school is very ambitious for all pupils to do well, including those who face challenges. Consequently, standards in reading, writing and mathematics are rising. Reading is prioritised from the moment children join nursey. They are very well prepared to start in Reception. Pupils thrive on taking responsibilities, such as door monitors supporting others at breaktimes. They appreciate trips to support their learning, for example Coventry cathedral to see the impact of the bombing of the Second World War. They appreciate the many clubs and activities, including 'jet dance' and a visit to the theatre to see the ballet.
What the school should improve
- Teachers do not check well enough what pupils remember in some subjects. Subsequent learning does not take into account pupils' prior knowledge. As a result, some pupils do not build their knowledge well over time. This slows their progress across the curriculum. The school needs to ensure that teachers check what pupils know and remember across all subjects, and use this to inform future learning.
