What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 2 November 2023
The school guides pupils to value and respect one another. A pupil in Year 2, typical of many, said, 'The school is like a family.' Leaders have high expectations of pupils' academic work and demand excellent behaviour from all pupils. Pupils respond positively to these high expectations. All staff work together closely to support pupils to flourish here. Pupils are kept safe. Staff teach pupils how to behave, and they model the kindness that they expect from pupils. Through playground superhero role models, such as 'Forgiving Fabio', the school makes clear to pupils of all ages how to act intelligently in social situations. Pupils have multiple opportunities to take on leadership roles. For example, the elected school council recently introduced a 'buddy bench' at breaktime, run by well- being champions, so that no one feels left out. Pupils have access to a wide and varied personal development programme. They take part in activities regularly, including sports, drama workshops and music. The talent show is popular. The school organises educational visits regularly. Children in the early years visit local landmarks, such as the fire station. As part of 'no pens' day, pupils participate in outdoor learning in the school's forest school area.
What the school should improve
- The school has not ensured that the key knowledge that pupils should know and remember is identified precisely in all subjects. As a result, pupils do not deepen their curriculum knowledge over time equally securely across the curriculum. The school should ensure that the key knowledge that pupils need to know and remember is identified equally precisely in all subjects.
