What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 16 April 2024
Pupils in this happy and friendly school proudly model their values of respect, compassion, aspiration, courage and integrity. Expectations are high for all, with particularly impressive ambition for disadvantaged pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), who now thrive with strong support. Most pupils achieve well across their learning, as a result of targeted improvements driven by leaders and trustees. Pupils' progress in reading is excellent, reflecting the school's relentless focus. External results showed less success with writing and mathematics last year. These subjects have been enhanced to follow the strengths of the reading approach. Well-being is prioritised by the caring staff team. Behaviour is kind and considerate from the classroom to the playground. While significant improvements have been made, some pupils still need reminders to show their very best attitudes to learning, which will help them to achieve even better. Pupils thrive with responsibilities, including playground leader, sports captain, digital leader and reading ambassador. Visitors such as the police help pupils to learn about social responsibility. Pupils were enthralled by a museum visit to enrich their learning about travel in the early 20th century. The choir love singing at different locations, including a large arena, a care home and a local infant school.
What the school should improve
- The new foundation curriculum approach was introduced in September 2023 and is not fully embedded in all classes and subjects. As a result, pupils may not securely learn and remember key content in some lessons. The school must ensure that lesson activities are designed effectively to help pupils successfully acquire skills and knowledge over time.
- Some pupils do not show sustained concentration and effort in their learning. This can cause distractions for others and stop pupils from achieving highly. Teachers must ensure that clear and high learning expectations are met to ensure that all pupils are fully engaged and trying their best.
