What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 December 2024
Pupils, parents and carers and staff know that they belong to the school family. The school is proud to play an integral part in the wider community, for example by joining in the Angel Festival at the church. The school's vision of 'growing well and flourishing together' is evident in the strong community links within the school. Pupils are known well and seen as individuals. Pupils celebrate difference; for example, one said, 'Everybody is different. If we were all the same, it would be boring.' Pupils enjoy playing with their friends and taking part in the many and varied clubs, for example drama and chess. They know that if they are worried, there are trusted adults on hand to talk to. They love to play together on the playground, challenging one another to table tennis tournaments and making up shows to share with their friends. They support each other to follow the rules. The school has high expectations for what pupils can achieve. Pupils meet these expectations. The school has recently reviewed the curriculum to make sure that the knowledge pupils must learn is clearly identified. Teachers revisit this knowledge, making sure that pupils remember what they need to know. Oracy is a key feature of the curriculum. Pupils are taught to speak with confidence.
What the school should improve
- Staff do not consistently pick up on or address pupils' misconceptions in learning. This means that staff do not have an accurate overview of what pupils have understood and that pupils' misconceptions may persist. The school now needs to ensure that staff identify and address misconceptions so that they can further support pupils to know and remember more.
