What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 5 July 2022

Juniper is a very nurturing and inclusive school. Pupils enjoy coming to school and feel proud to belong to the Juniper community. Well-being is important to staff and pupils alike. As a result, everyone is treated with respect. Staff motivate pupils to believe in themselves and this helps them develop their resilience. Kindness permeates the school. Pupils feel happy and safe. They play well together on the playground, making sure everyone is included. Bullying rarely happens. Pupils know that adults will help them if they have any difficulties or disagreements. Leaders aim to develop the individual character of each child. Pupils speak with passion about their many opportunities to develop their school. For example, litter pickers are proud to involve everyone in making school a better place. Sport is also very important to the pupils. They are delighted that all children get the opportunity to compete and represent the school. Teachers have high expectations and pupils work hard to meet these. One pupil said they work hard because 'teachers push you to your limits but not over them'. Pupils behave well in lessons and are enthusiastic about their learning.

What the school should improve

  • The weakest readers in key stage 2 do not consistently have books that match their reading ability and this hinders their progress. Leaders should ensure that the range of books are consistently matched to the reading ability of all pupils.
  • Records about safeguarding and child protection concerns are currently stored in two different systems. Although designated safeguarding leaders have a strong knowledge of their cases and know how to keep pupils safe, recording is not consistent. Some records are duplicated and sometimes it is not easy to determine what actions have taken place and when. Leaders must ensure that all relevant safeguarding details are recorded in a consistent, systematic and efficient manner.
