What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 8 February 2023

Pupils are happy and safe at this school. They get on very well together. Pupils are proud of their school. Pupils settle in quickly when they join the school. They enjoy learning interesting knowledge and skills across all subjects. Staff have high expectations of what pupils can do and achieve. They encourage pupils to take part in many aspects of school life. This includes participating in a range of educational trips and clubs, including residential visits. Pupils take part in projects to recycle as much as they possibly can and to reduce plastic waste. They collect money, food and gifts for various charities. Behaviour in lessons and around the school is calm and orderly. Pupils are respectful of staff and of each other. Staff take care of pupils. Pupils know that staff are there to help them with their learning and with any concerns that they might have. Bullying is rare, and swiftly dealt with. Parents and carers feel well supported by leaders. Pupils appreciate the wide range of sporting and musical opportunities they have at school, such as gymnastics, skipping club, chess and choir.

What the school should improve

  • Leaders currently have a range of systematic synthetic phonics programmes in place. On occasion, staff do not pronounce sounds precisely when teaching pupils to read. As a result, there are inconsistencies in how phonics is taught. Leaders should establish a consistent approach to teaching early reading. They should ensure that all staff have the necessary training in phonics to strengthen their skills and expertise.
