What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 11 October 2023

The school is a welcoming place where pupils are happy, well behaved and safe. They enjoy their learning and achieve the high standards that leaders expect of them. The school prioritises pupils' well-being. Pupils have staff they can go to if they have any worries. At breaktime, pupil 'mental health ambassadors' in the playground work alongside 'friendship buddies' and support their peers with making friends and managing any conflicts. Staff make sure that all pupils have the same opportunities to access the curriculum, including residential trips. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are well supported by staff who know them well. Pupils are encouraged to be active citizens. All pupils are involved in school council discussions. They put forward suggested improvements to the school and vote on decisions. All pupils have an opportunity to take on leadership roles, such as monitors for stationary, recycling and librarians. Older pupils enjoy looking after the school's chickens. The school offers a wide range of clubs to develop pupils' talents and interests. These include various sports, Spanish, coding, gardening and meditation.

What the school should improve

  • Staff are unfamiliar with the school's new phonics programme and resources that have recently been introduced. Leaders should ensure that the new programme is implemented consistently by all staff so that pupils who are learning to read benefit from a consistent approach to practising phonics.
  • Sometimes, teachers plan activities which do not enable pupils to learn the intended subject curriculum as well as they might. The school should ensure that work given to pupils is carefully selected to enable them to practise and learn the intended curriculum.
