What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 May 2023
Pupils really enjoy being at this happy school. They feel that they are part of a community where everyone learns together and helps each other. For example, Year 6 pupils act as role models, taking time to help younger children learn to read. All pupils learn about the importance of giving to those who need help by raising money for charities chosen through a pupil vote. Importantly, pupils feel cared for. They know there is always a trusted adult with whom they can talk through any of their worries. Leaders have high expectations of pupils' behaviour around the school. Pupils rise to this. They take pride in knowing the new '#KSM' school rules of being kind, safe and having good manners. These can be seen at break and lunchtimes when pupils play and eat together safely and courteously. Pupils have been taught to recognise bullying and say it is rare. Pupils are curious about the world around them. They enjoy a wide range of opportunities, such as swimming and different outdoor activity residentials. Pupils learn about different traditions through events such as the May Day celebrations. Staff also ensure that the books pupils read explore many interesting people and places. This helps pupils to develop their understanding of diversity and the wider world.
What the school should improve
- Leaders' recent curriculum and pedagogical developments are not yet fully embedded. This includes the consistent selection of appropriate activity choices to help pupils confidently learn the intended curriculum, as well as the processes to check what pupils know and remember. As a result, some pupils do not learn as quickly as they could. Leaders must ensure that they check that all developments are securely in place and are having the impact they intend.
