What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 May 2024
Pupils come to school happy and eager to learn. They are determined to uphold the school's 'ASCENT' values, such as community and excellence. Children in the Reception Year get off to a strong start. Parents speak highly of the care and support that their children receive throughout their time in the school. Pupils consistently live up to the school's high expectations for their behaviour. Learning is rarely disrupted and pupils get on well together throughout the school day. Pupils have positive attitudes to learning and build their independence. As a result, they are well prepared for the next stages of their education. Pupils relish taking on responsibilities. Some pupils have roles on the school's 'green team', while others help during assemblies. Reading ambassadors help to curate the library and read with younger pupils. Members of the school council are chosen by their peers. This develops pupils' understanding of democratic processes. Pupils appreciate the wide range of extracurricular opportunities on offer. The school plans these carefully to help pupils make good use of them. For example, children in the Reception Year enjoyed their recent visit to a farm, while older pupils spoke excitedly about a rainforest experience. There are many clubs and activities, such as cricket, dance and mindfulness.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, the school has not identified precisely the knowledge that pupils need to learn. This means that pupils do not gain a depth of understanding in these subjects over time. The trust and school should ensure that they set out the precise knowledge that pupils need to learn, and that teachers have the expertise they need to teach this effectively.
