What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 5 March 2024
There is a vibrant 'buzz' and community spirit around the school. Each morning gets off to a good start with friendly greetings between staff and pupils. These kind, respectful relationships continue throughout the day. Older pupils love to help younger pupils in classes and at breaktimes. Pupils develop confidence and are proud to be themselves. They are accepting of difference. Pupils are self-aware and reflective. The understand what they need to help themselves to learn effectively. They support each other to do their best. Pupils know the high standards of behaviour that their teachers expect. Pupils learn about the importance of good manners from the early years. Occasionally, some pupils lose their focus in lessons. When this happens, teachers gently remind them of the rules. Pupils are eager to learn, from the start in early years. Adults ask questions that promote curiosity. Even the youngest children learn to persevere when tasks are hard. In lessons, most pupils are keen to do very well. They achieve high standards and understand how their learning today will help them in the future. There are plenty of opportunities for pupils to pursue interests such as gardening, choir and chess. Sporting teams for netball and football help pupils develop their teamwork skills.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, the curriculum is not consistently well embedded. In these subjects, some pupils have not achieved as well as they could. The school should ensure that staff have the guidance and support so that they can implement the curriculum in these subjects as well as leaders intend. The school should then evaluate the effectiveness of the changes made to ensure continued improvement.
- Some of the extra support for pupils is not precisely matched to their needs. When this happens, gaps in learning develop or persist. The school should ensure that staff have the expertise to provide appropriate support in and out of class and to monitor this support carefully to ensure that it works well.
