What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 May 2023
Pupils feel part of a thriving community. This is because federation leaders and staff work together to create opportunities for pupils to socialise together, learn interesting knowledge and take part in sporting events. Pupils appreciate each other and their teachers. Pupils feel safe and happy. They make good friends and have lots of fun at school. Bullying is very rare. Pupils know that if anything were to happen, the adults would swiftly sort it out. Their teachers are caring and knowledgeable. They model kindness and respect. As a result, lessons are calm and purposeful. Pupils enjoy learning about the wider world and its past. In addition to sporting events, pupils can take part in school productions hosted in the local village. The federation's 'Founding Day', celebrated every year, brings the community together and helps pupils to develop a sense of pride. Pupils take on a range of responsibilities in the school, such as helping during daily worship.
What the school should improve
- Occasionally, the work that teachers set for pupils lacks sufficient practice. This limits some pupils' opportunities to fully develop their knowledge and understanding. Leaders should ensure teachers provide additional practice opportunities for pupils who need it.
