What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 16 May 2023
Pupils try hard to live out the school's vision of 'Aim high, let your light shine'. They enjoy the praise and recognition they get when adults notice them 'letting their lights shine'. Hot chocolate Friday in the headteacher's office is a popular reward. Relationships throughout the school are rooted in respect. Bullying is not tolerated and any unkind behaviour is dealt with quickly. Pupils are happy to come to school to learn, play and to socialise with friends in a safe environment. Adults have high expectations and pupils are keen to meet them. Older pupils develop leadership skills through a variety of roles. They can be house captains, members of the school council, young chaplains, or buddies for Reception children. They say these opportunities give them the sense of responsibility that they will need when they move on to secondary school. Pupils love the trips that enrich their learning and life experiences. Year 2 pupils, for example, visited the Tower of London and the Golden Hind, while Year 5 pupils tried canoeing and white-water rafting at a local water park. Carefully chosen visitors, such as an inspirational media personality, teach pupils important messages about aiming high and never giving up on your dreams.
What the school should improve
- There have been changes in the leadership of a small number of curriculum areas. In these areas, leaders' plans for the curriculum have not been fully realised. Consequently, pupils are not as well prepared for the next stage of their learning as they could be in these subjects. Leaders must support curriculum leaders who are new to the role and continue to focus sharply on securing the programme of curriculum improvements they have planned.
