What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 2 November 2022
Pupils are happy at this welcoming school. Leaders have created an inclusive and nurturing environment. They make sure that values such as respect, cooperation and honesty are at the centre of everything they do. As one parent stated: 'This is a really supportive school. Staff genuinely care and want the best for every child.' Pupils behave well around school and in lessons. They play well together at breaktimes, keeping active by using the rich range of outdoor equipment provided. Pupils show high levels of consideration towards each other. They speak confidently about the importance of respecting and understanding others in society. Relationships between pupils and staff are positive. Pupils say that they feel safe at school. On the rare occasions that bullying happens, this is addressed promptly by staff. In addition, pupils have a clear understanding of how to get help from trusted adults in school. Pupils have many opportunities to nurture their talents, through attending a wide range of clubs including French, rugby and computing. Pupils learn about the importance of healthy eating and keeping fit. For example, children in Reception learn that fruit and vegetables are good for them, and pupils in Year 6 know how exercise keeps the heart healthy.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the essential knowledge that pupils need to learn is not clear. Series of lessons in these subjects do not enable pupils to make links between concepts securely enough so that they build knowledge systematically. Leaders need to complete and embed a coherently sequenced curriculum from Reception through to Year 6 for all subjects.
- Teachers' pedagogical and pedagogical content knowledge are not consistently strong. Teachers do not always design activities that enable pupils to transfer knowledge into their long-term memories, meaning not all pupils learn as well as they could. Leaders need to strengthen teachers' pedagogical and pedagogical content knowledge to ensure that pupils learn and remember the intended curriculum effectively.
