What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 23 May 2023
This is a kind and caring school community. The school's motto, 'growing together achieving together', underpins the school's direction. Leaders and governors are ambitious for all pupils. Leaders work hard to involve and engage parents and carers in the life of the school. The curriculum is well planned and inclusive for all pupils. Leaders ensure that the early years curriculum creates the building blocks for future success. Pupils are safe in school and value the friendships they make. Leaders have created a climate of trust and support. Any pupils who join the school part way through the school year are quickly made to feel welcome. Teachers know individual pupil's needs well. Bullying rarely happens. If it does occur, then staff take rapid action. All pupils take part in weekly swimming lessons, which enables them to build their stamina. Educational visits, including to Kew Gardens, help to strengthen pupils' understanding of the curriculum for science. Leaders create opportunities for pupils to work together. For example, the paired reading programme allows pupils to share a love of reading. The local library is well used and complements the school's robust reading curriculum.
What the school should improve
- In a very few subjects, leaders' curriculum thinking is not as well developed as in other subjects. This means that pupils do not build and deepen their knowledge in some areas of the curriculum. Leaders should ensure that, in all subjects, the curriculum is designed and sequenced coherently so that pupils enhance and extend their knowledge over time.
- Occasionally, checks on what pupils have understood are too generalised, and teaching does not identify and address gaps in pupils' knowledge. When this happens, pupils' understanding of key concepts and vocabulary is less secure. Leaders must ensure that teachers check pupils' understanding systematically and ensure that all pupils are secure in their learning.
