What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 22 October 2024
Pupils are met by welcoming staff at the start of each day. Teachers quickly pick up on how pupils are feeling and provide support when needed. Where pupils have any worries, teachers help them sort these out. Pupils feel happy and safe because they know they are listened to. Everyone learns about the school's values and one of the most important of these is respect. Pupils behave well. They demonstrate respect in how they treat each other with kindness and tolerance. Pupils get lots of opportunities to develop leadership skills. Playleaders take great pride in supporting other pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), to be included in games and activities at break and lunchtimes. This creates a pleasant and friendly atmosphere around the school. Pupils are achieving increasingly well. This is because the school has high expectations and has improved significantly the quality of the curriculum and how well it is taught. Pupils find lessons interesting and engaging. For example, children in early years enjoy making their own obstacle course and creating recipes for 'mud macchiatos'. There is something to capture all interests.
What the school should improve
- The school's approach to teaching writing is not well enough established. As a result, a minority of pupils do not produce writing of the quality they should because they have not secured basic foundational writing knowledge. The school needs to ensure that it provides ongoing training for staff in the school's new approach to teaching writing, so that all pupils consistently produce the quality of writing that they are capable of.
- A small number of pupils need more support to confidently blend words using their established knowledge of phonics. Therefore, these pupils do not read with the fluency they should. The school needs to ensure that where there are gaps in how fluently pupils can read, these are identified and closed swiftly so that all pupils are helped to read confidently and fluently.
