What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 18 July 2023
Children love coming to this school with its great sense of community. Children want to do their best. The school's motto of 'growing hearts, minds and community' captures the ambition of all at the school. Adults know the children and their families well. They use this knowledge and close working relationships to give children a safe and positive start to their learning. Children respond to the high expectation that adults have for them. They participate in the imaginative activities they take part in actively. Even the very youngest children learn to sit, learn and eat together. There is a strong culture of welcoming and respecting all here. Children listen to each other, are kind and play together safely. Children trust adults to help them when needed. Parents and carers value how adults in school help their children to feel secure and happy. Children who need extra help, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are fully supported by adults. Leaders ensure all children are included in the life of the school. As a result, the atmosphere around the school is joyful and calm.
What the school should improve
- On occasions, opportunities to teach aspects of the curriculum, including important vocabulary, communication skills and knowledge, are missed. Sometimes, staff do not make the most of activities in order to develop children's understanding. The school must ensure that staff fully embed the curriculum expectations and make the most of all interactions with children so that they can consolidate and secure what children know and can remember.
