What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 28 June 2023
Dedicated staff and governors have created a school in which pupils are happy and safe. Pupils say the school is like a family because teachers care about them. Leaders have high expectations, and all groups of pupils achieve well. The school is at the heart of the community, and pupils take part in the full life of both the parish and the school. A strong Christian ethos permeates all aspects of school life. Pupils understand the school's values of respect, hope, caring, fairness, achievement and responsibility. They behave impeccably, and there is no bullying, but if problems occur, staff support pupils to resolve issues. Pupils know the importance of 'doing the right thing' and understanding different viewpoints. Pupils enjoy learning because they say their teachers are 'just the best'. Pupils talk knowledgeably about strategies to solve problems in mathematics and explain how through history lessons, they have learned how the school has changed since the Victorian era. Pupils relish leadership opportunities. Older pupils hear the younger ones read, and others help to maintain the school's digital equipment. Children in the Reception class develop their interests and ideas through an exciting curriculum. They learn in the mud kitchen and explore the outdoors. These routines help them concentrate and develop good learning behaviours.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, the curriculum does not make clear the most important content that pupils are expected to know and remember. As a result, teachers' assessments are not precise enough. This means that pupils' recall of curriculum content is inconsistent. Leaders should ensure that the most important content that pupils should know and remember is identified and assessed in all subjects.
- Some children in the early years foundation stage are entering Year 1 unable to form their letters and numbers correctly. This means that they are not able to record their learning accurately. Leaders should ensure that more emphasis is placed on this aspect of learning so that pupils gain the handwriting skills they need for the next steps in their education.
