What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 January 2023
Pupils enjoy coming to school. One parent described how their child comes to school with 'a spring in their step'. Adults model kind and respectful behaviours. As a result, pupils are kind to each other. Everyone is welcome, and everyone is valued. Bullying is rare. Pupils feel safe at school and are confident that adults will help them to resolve any problems. Behaviour is calm and orderly. Leaders encourage a 'growth mindset.' This growth mindset is beginning to impact positively on pupils' resilience. In the weekly celebration assembly, pupils' individual talents and achievements are celebrated, including sporting and academic successes. Leaders reward pupils for upholding the school's CARE values of community, aspiration, resilience and empathy. Pupils enjoy educational visits, which helps them to make sense of topics they are learning. For example, a visit to an immersive historical experience in York supported pupils' learning about the Vikings in history. Leaders, including governors, are ambitious for all pupils. Leaders are taking significant action to address lower-than-expected outcomes at the end of key stage 2 in 2022. Pupils' subject knowledge is strengthening. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive effective support.
What the school should improve
- Adults across the school do not deliver the scheme for teaching phonics consistently. This is confusing for pupils who are in the early stages of learning to read. Leaders should ensure that all adults use the same system and terminology when teaching phonics.
- In subjects other than English and mathematics, teachers do not identify the gaps in pupils' knowledge effectively. Gaps in pupils' knowledge hinder their ability to make sense of new topics. Leaders should ensure that there is a consistent approach that teachers use to identify the subject knowledge that pupils have or have not remembered over time.
