What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 8 March 2022
Pupils are happy at this welcoming village school. Leaders keep the school motto, 'being the best that we can be', at the forefront of their work. Leaders know pupils and their families well. Parents value the nurturing, caring environment. As one parent stated: 'I love how caring the teachers are across the school and I feel they have my children's best interests at heart.' Leaders have high aspirations for all pupils. They recognise the importance of providing a broad range of experiences for all pupils. Leaders are rightly proud of their work to promote pupils' positive mental health. Pupils benefit from regular sessions to develop their emotional well-being and there is additional, targeted support for those pupils who need it. Pupils behave well around the school. They are calm, focused and engaged in lessons. When talking to adults, pupils are polite and confident. Pupils treat each other with respect, listening and responding well to each other in conversations. On the very rare occasions that bullying happens, adults deal with it promptly. Pupils enjoy opportunities to participate in local arts events. They are particularly excited about creating designs for the 'Hampshire Hares' project and costumes for this year's Winchester Hat Fair parade.
What the school should improve
- Subject leadership in some foundation subjects is at an early stage of development. Some subject leaders need to deepen their subject knowledge so that they can support staff to implement the curriculum more effectively. Leaders and governors should ensure that subject leadership across the whole curriculum improves.
- Teachers' subject knowledge is stronger in some subjects than it is in others. They do not always make the most effective pedagogical choices to allow pupils to achieve as well as they could in all subjects. Leaders need to strengthen teachers' subject knowledge in all subjects so that all pupils know and remember even more across the whole curriculum.
