What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 16 April 2024
Pupils are proud of their school, which sits at the heart of the local community. The school has created an atmosphere where everyone is valued and nurtured. Pupils are polite and respectful. They warmly welcome new starters, saying, 'They would soon meet lots of nice children who would be their friend.' The school has high aspirations for all pupils, both academically and socially. This is reflected in its vision to 'inspire with the joy of lifelong learning'. Pupils enjoy their learning and are inspired to try new things. These include a wealth of wider opportunities from playing the steel pans to Djembe, sewing and gymnastics. Relationships between adults and pupils are warm and caring. Pupils behave well and live up to the expectations of being 'ready, respectful and safe'. At breaktimes, they enjoy playing with their friends across the year groups. Pupils are happy, and they feel safe. They focus on their learning in classrooms. This starts with children in the early years, who listen well and show high levels of self-control. The school provides opportunities for pupils to develop leadership roles, such as being librarians, well-being leaders and school councillors. Older pupils act as role models to younger pupils, leading activities during social times.
What the school should improve
- In a very small number of subjects, the precise knowledge and vocabulary that pupils will learn is not as clear as it is in other subjects. This means that some pupils find it difficult to recall their key learning in these subjects. The school should ensure that the precise knowledge is identified in these subjects so that pupils are able to retain and recall key concepts.
- Although pupils learn about and show respect for difference and diversity, some pupils do not have an accurate understanding of different religions and cultures. This limits how well pupils are prepared for life in modern Britain. The school should ensure that the curriculum fully enables pupils to embed their learning about different communities, faiths and beliefs so that they are fully prepared for life in modern Britain.
