What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 30 April 2024
The school motto, learning, caring and friendship, is reflected all around this welcoming school. Pupils enjoy their time here as well as the opportunities that the school provides. Adults care for them and want them to do well. The school's curriculum and wider personal development programme ensures that pupils are well prepared for the transition to secondary school. Many pupils achieve well academically. Leaders ensure pupils become mature, responsible citizens by providing a varied set of experiences for all pupils. For example, pupils, including those in the school's gardening club, planted flowers and trees when learning about sustainability during the school's Earth Day activities. The school has high expectations for pupils' behaviour. The vast majority of pupils meet these expectations consistently well. Pupils across the age range of the school play well together. They are considerate of one another. When needed, staff provide support to pupils to ensure they meet the school's behavioural expectations. Most parents and carers are positive about the work that the school does to support their children. Families and the school work in partnership. This includes working together effectively to secure pupils' regular attendance.
What the school should improve
- The checks that the school makes on how effectively pupils learn the curriculum do not consistently identify why gaps occur. Some actions to address weaknesses are not precisely targeted to bring about the improvements that the school intends. The school should ensure that its actions are matched to and address why gaps have occurred.
