What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 23 April 2024

Pupils are proud to attend their school. Parents and carers value its community feel and many described the way that staff go 'above and beyond'. Younger and older pupils enjoy playing alongside each other at breaktimes. Pupils feel safe and happy in school, and they appreciate the way that adults take time to listen and help them when necessary. Pupils said that bullying is not a problem and that any rare occurrences are quickly sorted out. The school is ambitious for what pupils can achieve, and these ambitions are mostly realised. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive effective support to learn the curriculum alongside their peers. Teaching supports pupils to learn the planned curriculum and, and as result, achieve well overall. Pupils learn a wide range of subjects, supplemented by a well-planned programme of enrichment. They broaden what they have learned in class through visits to galleries, museums and concert halls across London. They are taught to respect differences and value the unique qualities of everyone in the school community and beyond.

What the school should improve

  • While the school ensures that pupils develop their reading well, there is some variation in staff's knowledge of teaching phonics. Occasionally, this reduces the quality and precision of the support given to some pupils in building their reading fluency and confidence. The school needs to ensure that all staff develop the expertise to promote pupils' reading development and address gaps in phonics knowledge, so that pupils can catch up quickly and become fluent and confident readers.
