What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 28 September 2022

This is a happy and friendly school community. Pupils are kind, respectful and helpful to others. Leaders strive to foster in pupils a life-long love of learning. Pupils said that they enjoy coming to school. Leaders have established strong partnerships with families and the local community. Staff have high ambitions for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Leaders make sure that the curriculum is designed so that all pupils, including those with SEND, can achieve well. Pupils behave well in lessons and around the school. If there are any problems, including bullying, staff sort things out quickly and sensitively. They all know and can name a member of staff who will listen to them and help if they have any worries. Pupils enjoy the wide range of cultural visits, performing arts clubs and sports on offer. Older pupils spoke enthusiastically about the residential journey in Year 5 and recent visits to St Pauls Cathedral and Regents Park Mosque. The pottery club is a particular favourite of the older pupils.

What the school should improve

  • A few staff are less experienced than others in delivering the school's new approach to early reading, including phonics. This affects their confidence, and leaders should ensure that all staff receive the training and support they need to deliver the school's phonics programme confidently.
  • Leaders have planned the curriculum to include a strong focus on vocabulary in all subjects. Sometimes there are too many new words and concepts for pupils to remember and understand in lessons. Leaders need to identify the key essential knowledge in the subjects they lead to help pupils in their learning and particularly in their writing across the wider curriculum.
