What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 September 2023
Pupils are proud to attend this school. They said that the school is like a family and that everyone is included. Pupils especially love their school dog, Bramble, who is a gentle companion and helps pupils when they feel upset. Children in early years even receive their very own toy dog when they start school to welcome them. Pupils said that adults listen to them and help them. This makes them feel happy, safe and secure. The school has high expectations for pupils. Most pupils achieve well and enjoy the programme of enrichment activities that supports their learning inside the classroom and outdoors. Most pupils try to follow the school rules. They are calm and orderly around the school. Pupils are respectful of others. For example, from early years to Year 6, children and pupils are taught to take turns and to listen to each other. Pupils appreciate the range of clubs and activities on offer. Pupils take on a range of responsibilities to develop their leadership skills, such as managing the school library or caring for the school's bees. Pupils who hold the role of school ambassador take their duties seriously so that they make a valuable contribution to school improvement.
What the school should improve
- The school does not ensure that the information it has about some pupils with SEND is used quickly enough to put effective support in place. This means that some pupils with SEND do not progress through the curriculum as well as they could. The school should ensure that pupils with SEND receive timely and responsive support with their learning.
- The school does not ensure that those pupils at the earliest stages of learning to read have books that match their phonic knowledge. This means that a small number of pupils are not able to access their reading books and do not achieve as well as they could. The school should ensure that the books read by these pupils are matched to their phonic knowledge so that they catch up more quickly.
