What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 13 June 2023

Pupils enjoy attending this friendly and welcoming school. Leaders have high aspirations for all pupils, including disadvantaged pupils and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils try their best to live up to leaders' expectations. They behave and achieve well. Children get off to an excellent start to school in the early years where they develop a fascination with learning new things. Children gain new vocabulary and they find out how to communicate effectively with others. They learn how to play and interact well together. This prepares them well for the rest of their time in school. All pupils know and follow the school rules. They also strive to follow the school motto so that they can 'be nice, work hard and never give up'. Pupils listen carefully to their teachers and try their best in lessons. Staff greet pupils with a smile every morning. They know pupils well and develop positive relationships with them. This helps pupils to feel happy, safe and secure. Pupils understand bullying can take different forms. Leaders deal with any incidents of bullying effectively. Pupils enjoy the activities that are available to them at playtimes and lunchtimes. They play and interact well together. Pupils relish the opportunity to take on responsibilities, for example acting as mental health ambassadors or being a buddy for children in the early years. Older pupils love attending the book club. They are also very proud of their role in promoting reading across the school.

What the school should improve

  • In a small number of subjects, leaders have not identified the essential knowledge that they want pupils to learn. This means that teachers are not clear about what to teach or the order in which subject content should be learned. At times, pupils' learning does not build on what they already know. Leaders should make sure that the curriculum sets out the most important knowledge that pupils need to learn so that they know and remember more over time.
