What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 June 2023
Pupils are proud to belong to this happy and welcoming school. The school motto 'together we learn, together we grow, together we achieve' guides their daily lives. Parents enjoy being part of the school community. They describe the school as 'caring and nurturing'. Leaders set high expectations for pupils to learn and behave. Pupils understand these expectations. They follow the 'rainbow code' which stands for 'respect, achieve, inclusion, nurture, belong, outstanding, whole'. These are the values leaders and staff want pupils to live by. Pupils work hard and cooperate with others. Pupils enjoy school. Bullying is rare. Pupils say it is because they 'grow up together and have strong friendships'. They know how to share a worry. Pupils can choose a trusted adult who will sort out problems quickly. Leaders provide a range of sports, art and crafts, and performing arts clubs. Pupils enjoy attending these clubs. At breaktime and lunchtime, pupils play team games or other structured activities. They know activity helps them to stay healthy. Pupils enjoy taking on extra responsibilities. For example, pupils can become classroom monitors, food ambassadors, eco-warriors or join the school council. They play an active role in decision-making. For example, pupils helped to design the new markings on the playground surface. These are to indicate playing areas for sports activities and other games.
What the school should improve
- Historically, the teaching of phonics was not as effective as it is now. This means that some older pupils have gaps in their phonic knowledge. They do not have the skills to tackle unfamiliar words. Leaders should ensure staff identify any gaps in pupils' knowledge so that weaker readers catch up quickly.
- The strategies for pupils with SEND are not reviewed regularly. This means leaders are unsure whether the strategies used are effective. Leaders must ensure there is greater precision in the assessment of needs and the identification of strategies, using advice from experts, to further enhance learning for pupils with SEND.
