What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 31 January 2024
This is a happy and inclusive school. The school's motto of 'One School Cherishing All' is fully realised. Every pupil is nurtured and valued. Parents and carers, staff and pupils speak favourably about the school and the excellent leadership of the headteacher. All staff have high expectations of what pupils can achieve socially, emotionally and academically. Teachers use their in-depth knowledge of each pupil, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), to tailor learning to pupils' needs. The carefully planned curriculum and enrichment programme ensures that these expectations are met. The school has established clear routines and teaches children how to behave well as soon as they join early years. Consequently, the way in which pupils conduct themselves is exemplary. They learn and play collaboratively, showing respect and consideration towards one another. They feel safe and confident because caring staff pay close attention to their individual needs. The school provides a rich and extensive range of extra-curricular opportunities for pupils. Activities range from horse-riding and cheerleading for pupils with SEND to participating in sport competitions and music events. Physical education (PE) is high on the school's agenda. Pupils complete a 'daily mile', and each cohort goes swimming every year.
What the school should improve
- The targets set for pupils at the SEND support stage are not precise and explicit enough. They do not set out the small steps for improvement that pupils should take and are not easily measured. The school should enhance support plans so that the progression of pupils with moderate SEND can be mapped and evaluated more effectively.
- Some pupils' understanding of fundamental British values, and the beliefs of those from different faiths, is at an early stage of development. This means that they are not as well prepared for life in modern Britain as they could be. The school should ensure that the curriculum provides coverage of these elements to broaden pupils' understanding and knowledge of diversity.
