What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 8 October 2024

Pupils are happy at this school. The strong relationships that they develop with staff and each other reflect the school's values of resilience, ambition and respect. Pupils are kind and polite. They behave well during lessons and at playtimes. Pupils follow the school's established rules and routines. This helps to make the school a calm and purposeful environment. The school has high expectations for pupils' achievement, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). In the early years, children are supported to achieve well. However, the school's ambition is not consistently realised for pupils in Years 1 to 6. As a result, some pupils do not build knowledge securely over time. Pupils benefit from a wide range of trips and clubs that help to develop their individual talents and interests. Pupils spoke positively about the school's 'passport for learning'. This provides a variety of memorable experiences that pupils enjoy throughout their time at school. Pupils flourish in their various roles and responsibilities. These include acting as ambassadors of numerous areas of school life. For example, pupil librarians spoke positively about their work with the local library to promote reading in school. Older pupils recognise the important role that well-being ambassadors play in supporting their friends and younger pupils.

What the school should improve

  • In some subjects, the school has not sequenced the order of pupils' learning to help them to acquire the essential knowledge that they need for future learning. This means that some pupils, including those with SEND, do not build their knowledge securely over time in these subjects. The school should ensure that teachers have the information that they need to design learning that builds firmly on what pupils already know and can do.
  • The intended curriculum is not implemented consistently well. For example, assessment strategies are not routinely used to identify gaps in pupils' knowledge and address them. Where this is the case, pupils, including those with SEND, do not achieve as well as they should. The school should ensure that the curriculum is implemented consistently and effectively so that pupils achieve well across the curriculum.
