What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 5 June 2024
Pupils are proud to attend this welcoming and inclusive school. They are happy and safe at school. Staff cheerfully greet children and families arriving at school every morning. These greetings are warm and positive. This gets the school day off to the best possible start. The school has high expectations and ambitions for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils are well prepared for the next stage of their education. Staff know and understand the children, families and community extremely well. Strong, positive relationships are at the heart of all the school's work. Children in early years have an exceptionally positive start to their school experience. Staff consistently apply the school's behaviour policy. Pupils feel that everyone is treated fairly. They insist that there is no bullying at school. On occasions, when there are disputes and conflicts, these matters are addressed and dealt with seriously, although these events make some pupils feel uncomfortable. Pupils are nurtured and cared for by thoughtful adults who have their best interests at heart. There is a broad range of support available for pupils with social, emotional and mental health needs.
What the school should improve
- In some areas, the curriculum is not as well sequenced as it is in others. Where this is the case, pupils do not build new learning as well as they should. The school should take further action to build learning effectively across all subjects.
- On occasions, some pupils feel uncomfortable as a result of the involvement of a minority of pupils in physical altercations. The school must ensure it continues to promote positive behaviour, a culture of high expectation and a calm and orderly environment in all parts of school.
- Some pupils do not attend school regularly enough. As a result, they do not build their knowledge well over time and have gaps in their learning. The trust needs to ensure that the attendance strategy and work with parents are effective in ensuring that pupils attend with more regularity, so that they learn more successfully over time.
