What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 26 November 2024
Pupils are very proud to attend this caring school, which is at the heart of its local community. Pupils of all ages love to help to look after their school and its grounds. For example, members of the eco-team delight in helping to look after the school's birds and rabbits. Through various leadership roles, pupils are encouraged to develop their confidence and independence. From the early years upwards, pupils' behaviour is exceptional. Children in the Nursery class settle quickly into school life. They learn the school's rules and routines so that not a moment of learning is lost. At breaktimes, pupils of all ages play happily together. They help one another and they are kind and considerate. The oldest pupils are excellent role models for younger children. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well. They respond to the high expectations that the school has of them. As a result, they leave well prepared for junior school. Pupils benefit from a range of wider opportunities on offer. They take part in clubs such as football, cooking club and multi-sports club. Pupils enjoy visiting places of interest to extend their learning, such as the science museum and aquarium.
What the school should improve
- The school does not provide sufficient opportunities for some pupils in key stage 1 to apply their knowledge of letters and sounds in their writing. This hinders some of these pupils from forming their letters correctly and from developing fluency in writing as quickly as they could. The school should provide regular opportunities for these pupils to practise their writing.
- In one or two subjects, assessment information does not provide teachers with the information that they need to ensure that the curriculum is suitably ambitious for all pupils. This prevents some pupils from achieving as well as they could. The school should ensure that assessment information supports teachers to design learning that helps pupils to develop a rich body of subject knowledge.
