What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 23 January 2024
Pupils arrive at school happy and smiling each day. The school's calm and nurturing environment enables pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), to flourish. Children in the early years settle quickly into well-established routines. They enjoy the opportunity to explore the outdoors and to learn with their friends. Older pupils talked enthusiastically about all the interesting things that they learn in different subjects. Pupils work hard and strive to reach the high expectations that the school has for their academic success. Typically, pupils achieve well. Pupils demonstrate positive behaviour. They know that staff care about them. Any fallings out between friends are resolved quickly. This helps pupils to feel safe in school. Pupils explained that everyone is treated with respect and is made to feel welcome. Pupils are excited by the many opportunities to represent their school, including sports competitions and music events. Older pupils take their responsibilities seriously. These include positions as house captains and 'buddies' for children in the early years. Residential visits and trips help to build pupils' confidence, resilience and self-esteem. Pupil develop a strong sense of community and pride through raising money for local charities. The care and support that pupils receive are commented on positively by parents and carers.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, the checks on what pupils remember are not fully effective. This means that teachers do not know how well pupils achieve in these subjects. The school should enable teachers to check pupils' learning more effectively to ensure that they build a secure body of knowledge over time.
