What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 23 January 2024

Pupils feel happy, safe, and motivated at this inclusive and vibrant school. They benefit and thrive from the high expectations the school sets for them. This is clear to see in the high levels of effort pupils put into their work, as well as in the positive way they treat each other. Pupils trust that adults in the school want the best for them. Pupils constantly strive to achieve well in all they do and are proud to show what they have learned. Pupils behave extremely well at this school. They know and embody the school values of 'respect, positivity, integrity, aspiration, empathy, and equality'. Pupils are inclusive in their thoughts and actions. They recognise that people are different and that everyone should be treated with the same levels of respect and kindness. Break and lunchtimes are harmonious and happy environments. Pupils play well together and recognise the importance of the school's rules and routines. Pupils are well prepared for their lives beyond the school. They value the various leadership opportunities they have. Whether as school councillors, 'play pals' in Year 2 or 'reading leaders' in Year 6, pupils learn the importance of contributing to their community.

What the school should improve

  • In a small number of foundation subjects, the school has not embedded all intended changes. This means that pupils are not learning as well as they could across the entire curriculum. The school should ensure that staff have the knowledge they need in all curriculum areas, so that assessment is used to precisely identify pupils' knowledge gaps, and support put in place to help pupils build coherent knowledge effectively over time.
  • Persistent absence of the most vulnerable pupils remains high. This means that these pupils do not fully benefit from all that the school has to offer. The school should now carefully consider what additional strategies and support the most vulnerable families need to further improve attendance.
