What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 2 July 2024
Pupils are thriving in this vibrant school. They are immensely proud to be members of the school community. Following their superb start in early years, most pupils achieve well across the school. They live up to the school's high expectations. Pupils work hard, enjoy school and know that a good education is pivotal to their future success. This is reflected in their excellent behaviour and attitudes to learning. Pupils' personal development is exceptional. The school's values are at the heart of this. Pupils understand why these are important. They know that values such as kindness, tolerance and honesty help them to develop a strong moral code. As one pupil commented, 'These are the key principles to lead your life by.' Pupils benefit greatly from the school's extensive enrichment opportunities. From music-making and Shakespeare performances to sporting tournaments and gardening, the list is endless. All pupils are encouraged to 'shine' and celebrate their wide-ranging accomplishments. Pupils make a tangible, positive contribution to school life by taking on one of the many leadership roles. Older pupils are mature and responsible role models for others. They love helping and caring for younger pupils by being a special 'buddy'.
What the school should improve
- There is inconsistency in the quality of support for pupils in key stage 1 who have fallen behind the school's reading programme. The support and guidance for these pupils is not always as effective as it needs to be. This risks pupils falling further behind in reading, as well as writing. The school needs to iron out any inconsistencies and strengthen the support for these pupils to enable them to catch up quickly.
- The school's record-keeping and strategic analysis of some important aspects of its work are not sufficiently robust or precise enough. This limits the school's work to identify and address any patterns or trends over time to inform their decision- making. The school needs to strengthen this aspect of strategic leadership.
