What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 June 2023
Pupils are proud to belong to this welcoming and inclusive school. From making cakes for a dinosaur in Reception to studying monsoons in Year 6, pupils enjoy exciting learning opportunities. They are keen to talk about their learning. Pupils' enthusiasm for school life is clear to see. Expectations for learning and behaviour are high. Pupils strive to meet these high expectations by embracing the school's HEART values (honesty, exceptional, aspirational, resilience, togetherness). These are woven throughout all aspects of school life. Pupils are friendly and courteous. They behave well in class and around the school. Pupils feel safe and happy. They say that bullying happens very rarely, and they trust staff to deal with it. Staff inspire pupils to overcome any difficulties they experience. Pupils are encouraged to join in with new activities and experiences to build their confidence. Staff support pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) well. These pupils receive the same learning opportunities as their peers. Most parents and carers are happy with the school. They appreciate that children and pupils are well known by staff. One parent, typical of many, said, 'My children receive personalised guidance tailored to their needs. I would happily recommend this school to anyone.'
What the school should improve
- In many subjects, including in English and mathematics, the school's high ambition is realised. However, this is not yet the case in all subjects. As a consequence, pupils do not demonstrate the same depth of understanding and knowledge in a very small number of subjects, such as in personal, social and health education, as they do in most subjects. Leaders should ensure that pupils reach the same high levels of achievement in all subjects.
