What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 30 January 2024
Pupils, including children in the early years, benefit from a stronger education than they did at the time of the previous inspection. They achieve well due to an improved curriculum and the school's high expectations for their academic success. Pupils live up to the renewed school values. These help pupils to make sensible choices and to treat each other with care and respect. Pupils benefit from positive, nurturing relationships with staff. They know that staff will listen to them and offer help if they have any worries. This makes the school a happy and safe place to be. Pupils said that they enjoy coming to school. Pupils behave well in and around the school. They are keen to learn. Children in the early years follow the routines that staff teach. This helps them to understand how to take turns and share equipment. This creates a harmonious environment. Pupils enjoy the range of clubs that they can attend, such as Spanish and singing. They contribute to the life of the school through their leadership responsibilities. This is particularly true for pupils in Year 2 who can become librarians and lunchtime monitors.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, teachers do not adapt the delivery of the curriculum well enough to meet the needs of pupils with SEND. This hinders the progress of this group through the curriculum. The school should ensure that staff are suitably equipped to design learning that enables pupils with SEND to learn all that they should.
- There are fewer opportunities for pupils to experience life beyond the classroom in key stage 1 than there are in the early years. At times, this limits older pupils from deepening their knowledge of the wider world. The school should ensure that pupils have greater opportunities to enhance their understanding of the world around them.
