What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 28 June 2022
This school provides an oasis of calm. Pupils are happy and feel safe. They know that adults care for them and want them to succeed. Leaders and staff have high expectations for all pupils. They plan and adapt the curriculum to meet pupils' needs and interests. Teaching of reading, writing and mathematics helps pupils to successfully secure the basics. In other subjects, teachers motivate pupils to learn important knowledge and skills. Effective use of educational visits provides pupils with experiences that link well to teaching in school. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. They display superb manners and are polite and kind to one another. When children start in the early years, they quickly learn the schools' expectations and routines. Pupils believe that the school rules are fair and consistently applied. The school does not tolerate bullying. Pupils are confident that on the rare occasion it occurs, staff resolve it. This school identifies its core purpose as to benefit the children who attend. Staff and leaders work in a dedicated fashion with pupils and parents to achieve this. There are a wide range of clubs which pupils enjoy. The school provides many opportunities to widen pupils' horizons and make them responsible young citizens.
What the school should improve
- Leaders have not fully developed the approaches to assessment in some foundation subjects. In these subjects, it is difficult for staff to determine the knowledge that pupils have gained from the curriculum's implementation. Leaders should continue to develop suitable and manageable assessment approaches which explicitly link to the school's curriculum.
- Some foundation subject leaders are new to their roles. They are beginning to develop their subject leadership skills and their understanding of the strengths and areas for development in their subjects. Leaders need to continue with their development of subject leadership for all curriculum areas.
