What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 27 June 2023
Pupils enjoy attending this school. There are echoes of 'good morning' and 'good afternoon' as pupils politely greet each other, teachers and visitors. Pupils describe the school as 'one big family'. Staff have positive relationships with pupils. Pupils know that staff will listen to them and help them with their problems. Pupils feel safe and happy here. The school is calm and orderly. Teachers have high expectations of pupils. Pupils rise to these expectations and behave well across the school. Pupils at this school are eager to learn new things. Teachers develop them to be kind, empathetic and respectful. This reflects the school's values. Leaders have ensured there is a focus on building pupils' strength of character, as well as giving them strong academic foundations. The school has an inclusive ethos. The curriculum teaches pupils about different faiths, cultures and protected characteristics. Pupils celebrate differences and are prepared for life in modern Britain. Parents and carers hold the school in high regard. One parent summed up the views of many when they said, 'I love this school and the teachers in it. I wouldn't want my daughter to go to any other school.'
What the school should improve
- The curriculum is new and not well embedded in a few foundation subjects. Pupils do not develop the depth of knowledge in these subjects as they do in other subjects. Leaders must more closely monitor and evaluate how effectively these subjects are being delivered to ensure that they enable pupils to develop a depth of understanding.
- The interactions between some adults and children in the early years are not always focused on the areas where children may need to develop most. Children do not always benefit from the meaningful learning opportunities that are planned. Leaders must ensure that all staff know how to exploit meaningful learning opportunities through high-quality interactions with children.
