What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 15 October 2024
Pupils are proud to attend this school and feel confident that adults will always support them when needed. They develop self-confidence, as staff help them learn to be resilient and foster a strong belief in themselves. Staff encourage pupils to express their feelings, and their well-being is a high priority. This approach helps pupils feel safe and happy. Pupils behave very well. Everyone follows the same straightforward set of school rules. This helps pupils to know what is expected of them. They walk in a calm and orderly way around the school, showing respect for their environment. In lessons, pupils listen attentively to their peers and teachers. They also work quietly and stay focused. As a result, pupils can concentrate on their work and put in their best effort. In the playground, pupils play well with one another. They learn to give and take fairly. Kindness is shown between pupils. Even the youngest children understand and follow the familiar routines. Staff have high expectations, which positively impacts pupils' learning because they complete work to a high standard. Some changes to subjects are improving what pupils learn and how well they achieve. They include starting the development of knowledge and skills with the youngest pupils.
What the school should improve
- Some staff members do not teach phonics in a consistent way. This means that some pupils do not learn the school's chosen phonics programme in a coherent way. The school should make sure that staff teach the phonics programme consistently so that all pupils learn their phonics knowledge effectively.
- The changes to the school curriculum mean pupils have not learned all the prior subject knowledge and subject-specific vocabulary they need. This results in gaps in their understanding, which can hinder some pupils when completing learning tasks. The school must fill gaps in understanding and plan for knowledge and vocabulary development in each subject from the early years.
