What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 November 2023
Pupils are happy at, and enjoy attending, this school. They are polite and welcoming, both to visitors and to new pupils. They are well behaved. They have lots of fun, enjoying making up their own games in the playground and exploring the 'wild woods' area. Their learning is enhanced with themed sessions, for example about technology in the environment. Pupils across the school talk warmly of the 'buddy' pairs that they have, with older pupils supporting younger ones at events and when walking to the church. The school has high expectations of what pupils can achieve. Pupils work hard and most achieve in line with expectations for their age. Pupils learn a lot about the environment and are passionate about this, writing letters to their MP about traffic concerns outside the school. They learn about road safety and keeping themselves safe online. They feel safe in school and know adults they can talk to if they are worried or upset. Pupils learn about a wide range of cultures and countries through the different books and topics they study. They know about key historical events in other countries, for example the civil rights movement in the USA.
What the school should improve
- Not as many pupils are at the expected standard for their age in writing as in reading and mathematics. This is because those pupils have not yet developed strong letter formation and/or punctuation and grammar skills. This means that they do not write as fluently as they could, which impedes the quality of their writing both in English and across the curriculum. The school should further improve the quality of writing teaching so that the quality of pupils' writing improves in turn.
