What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 23 May 2023
Pupils enjoy coming to school. They are proud of the way that school helps them to live out the school values of faith, hope and love. These are the basis of the high expectations of the school that pupils strive to meet. Pupils develop warm and respectful relationships with each other and with adults. They know that staff care about their mental health and well-being as well as their learning. Pupils learn to care for each other so that everyone feels welcome. Bullying happens rarely, and pupils are confident that staff deal with it effectively. Pupils delight in building dens and safely climbing trees in Boundary Wood. Pupil play leaders organise games and races so that their classmates are physically active at break- and lunchtimes. The school-designed 'Skylark' award encourages pupils to take an active part in their local community and develop their personal interests. Pupil-led clubs are extremely popular and make a significant contribution to the life of the school. Pupils enhance their understanding of the world by standing for election for the school council at which pupils share their views with staff and are kept well informed about things that are happening.
What the school should improve
- In phonics lessons, not all staff consistently check that pupils have understood. This means that some pupils do not learn to read with fluency quickly enough. Leaders should ensure that all staff follow their training closely to precisely check pupils' understanding and address gaps in learning swiftly.
- Although a small number of governors are highly engaged, the majority are not. This means that they do not have the knowledge they need to sufficiently hold leaders to account. Governors need to strengthen their oversight of the school and use this information to challenge and support leaders so that they develop an accurate understanding of the quality of education for all pupils.
