What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 18 October 2022

Pupils are happy and kept safe. They said that they feel safe in school because teachers are always there to help them. Pupils know that they are listened to by staff. They appreciate the support available for their well-being, and the opportunities to talk through any worries that they may have. Leaders want all pupils to achieve well. The curriculum is broad and ambitious. Teachers help pupils to make links between the knowledge that they learn and develop their understanding across a range of subjects. Pupils typically work hard and succeed in their learning. Pupils behave well. This is because there are clear and consistent routines and expectations from staff. Bullying is not tolerated. Any incidents that do arise are dealt with swiftly. Pupils know who to report any concerns to and have confidence that they would be managed effectively. Pupils enjoy carrying out the responsibilities that they are given, for example older pupils help younger ones at lunchtime. Similarly, pupils enjoy supporting the care of the school dog.

What the school should improve

  • The early years curriculum supports children to develop their understanding of the different areas of learning. However, some of the knowledge that children need to secure is sometimes not explicitly identified. As a result, children do not fully secure their understanding of some concepts in readiness for their learning at the start of Year 1. Leaders should ensure that the early years curriculum builds sequentially in all areas. This will ensure that children are developing the necessary language and knowledge to prepare them consistently well for their future learning.
