What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 November 2023
Leaders are ambitious for pupils in their care. Pupils enjoy playing with and alongside each other at playtimes and lunchtimes. They are positive about being members of the school community. Leaders have introduced a new behaviour policy. Pupils talk positively about the changes. They say that these are having a positive impact on behaviour in classrooms and around school. The school is ambitious for pupils. Leaders are continuing to develop the curriculum. In subjects where the curriculum is more developed, pupils talk with enthusiasm and excitement about their work. For example, Year 5 pupils talk about their understanding of different painting techniques and the recent visit of a local artist. In the early years, staff support children to follow routines and develop their independence. Staff have a good understanding of how to give children a positive start to their education. Children concentrate for sustained periods of time in their learning and play. They develop curiosity and interest. They develop positive attitudes to education.
What the school should improve
- The school does not provide some pupils with SEND with the precise support they need to fully access the curriculum. As a result, these pupils miss some opportunities to develop independence in their learning and to build their skills and knowledge over time. The school should continue to support staff to quickly identify these pupils and provide the most appropriate support across the curriculum.
- The school's evaluation of its actions is not well developed. As a result, in some areas of school improvement, the school does not check that the actions taken by leaders are having the desired impact on pupils. The school should ensure that there is a more detailed evaluation of the actions that leaders are taking and the impact these actions are having.
