What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 30 April 2024
High expectations for what pupils will learn and experience are shared by the whole school community. Pupils achieve well because they know what they have to do to be successful. The school's chosen parable of the Good Samaritan helps pupils understand their role in supporting their school. Pupils love coming to school. They enjoy many activities, such as the rock band and sports clubs. They appreciate performing. For example, they sing in the local orchard with the wassailing group and perform in church every term. Pupils feel safe. The school has helped pupils develop their understanding of how to keep themselves safe in their local community, when they are near the canal and on the road. The school is calm and orderly; pupils are well mannered and respectful of each other. Bullying is rare. If bullying does happen, pupils know what they need to do. Pupils are confident that adults will deal with it quickly and effectively. The school has high expectations of behaviour. Pupils play together well on the playground, showing tolerance and respect for one another. Relationships between pupils and adults are positive. As a result, pupils behave well and low-level disruption to learning is rare.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, what pupils know and can do are not carefully checked. As a result, teachers do not always have the right information to inform future learning. The school should ensure teachers appropriately use assessment information to further support pupils' achievement.
- The school has introduced a lot of new initiatives in a short space of time. The school is not always clear on what impact these have had on pupils' learning because it has not yet checked. The school should continue to fully implement its plans to check on the impact on learning.
