What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 3 October 2023

The school is a vibrant and welcoming community. Pupils' well-being is at the heart of the school's ethos. Pupils get on well together. They are kind to each other and polite to adults. All pupils can name a member of staff in school who they can talk to if they have any worries. Pupils are safe and feel happy. They speak with great fondness, and look forward every day to seeing the new school community dog, Monty. Leaders have high ambitions for what all pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), can achieve. Leaders also have high expectations for pupils' behaviour. Pupils respond really well to these expectations. They behave sensibly and achieve well in lessons. Parents and carers were overwhelmingly positive about the care and support their children receive in school. Pupils benefit from a wide range of opportunities that enhance their learning. They take part in residential trips and visits. For example, Year 1 visited Kew Gardens and Year 6 went on a trip to the War Rooms in Whitehall. The school also offers a range of clubs on offer, including science, chess and a 'little architects'.

What the school should improve

  • In the early years, the school has not identified what they want children to know in some areas of learning. Some staff lack the confidence and expertise to do this effectively. This means that some children are not prepared as well as they could be for the demands of the Year 1 curriculum. The school should ensure that staff in the early years are well trained and supported to maximise opportunities to develop children's skills in all areas of early learning both indoors and outdoors.
  • In a few foundation subjects, the school has not identified the specific knowledge and vocabulary they want pupils to learn. As a result, pupils do not consistently deepen their understanding and build on what they know and can do. The school should ensure that subject plans are sequenced precisely to develop the key knowledge that pupils need to learn over time, starting from the early years.
