What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 24 September 2024
Pupils are proud to attend this caring and inclusive school. They enjoy positive relationships with adults. Pupils know that if they have a concern, they can go to any adult in school for help. They are safe and happy. The school has very high expectations for all pupils. Pupils are determined to do their best. From low starting points, pupils achieve highly in the end of key stage 2 national assessments. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. The school has set an ambitious standard of behaviour. Pupils know what is expected of them. The small number of pupils who struggle with behaviour receive the necessary support to help them succeed. Pupils value the calm learning environment and settle quickly to work. They are considerate of others and polite. Pupils aim to model the 10 school values. They are proud of the certificates and the 'Marvellous Me' badges they receive for doing so. Pupils look after each other and demonstrate an empathy for those less fortunate. For example, they raised money for an international charity to support children living through war. Pupils care about the community they live in and readily take part in community initiatives, such as to promote road safety.
What the school should improve
- There is some inconsistency in the implementation of the school's curriculum. As a result, there is variability in the quality of pupil outcomes across classes and some pupils do not remember the important knowledge they have learned. The school should ensure that staff across all classes are equipped to implement the curriculum effectively.
- Pupils do not get sufficient opportunities to practise the letter formation they are taught in phonics lessons. They make many errors in their writing and staff do not address these swiftly or consistently. This means that pupils do not progress to composing pieces of writing with accuracy. The school should ensure that correct letter formation is embedded before children progress to writing composition.
