What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 June 2024
This is an inclusive and caring school. The school has high expectations of pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). It has successfully promoted the importance of pupils attending school regularly. Pupils know that being at school every day helps them to learn. They enjoy coming to school. They like finding out about new things and being with their friends. Pupils' positive engagement with their learning, and with their school life, is reflected in their behaviour in class and outside. Pupils are polite and courteous. They move around school calmly. Staff ensure that they are available to speak to parents and carers at the end of the day. Parents value this. It contributes to the school's nurturing and friendly atmosphere. The school provides a range of opportunities to develop pupils' leadership skills. Playtime buddies effectively support younger pupils at breaktimes and lunchtimes to use new equipment and play games. Pupils proudly showed inspectors how they have been mastering different skipping techniques. Pupil subject ambassadors speak passionately about their roles and how it supports pupils' learning. Pupils enjoy participating in sports clubs and competitions. Assemblies provide opportunities to celebrate pupils' success in school, as well as activities that pupils take part in outside of school.
What the school should improve
- The school does not routinely check that the actions to develop the school are having the intended impact. Opportunities are missed to refine and improve practice across the curriculum. Leaders, including those with responsibility for governance, should ensure that they regularly check that actions to develop the school are accurately evaluated and have the intended impact on pupils' learning and development.
- The school does not provide regular opportunities for staff to share and reflect on safeguarding training and updates. Some staff do not fully understand how their training applies to the school's context and their role. The school must ensure that it provides regular opportunities for all staff to discuss and build on their knowledge of safeguarding so that they know how to apply what they have learned in their day-to- day practice.
