What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 1 November 2023
From the nurturing nursery to studious Year 6 classrooms, pupils welcome everyone with a smile to the new site of their joyful school. Pupils, parents and carers agree that behaviour has improved since moving to the new building in September 2023. The school has supported teachers to establish high expectations for all. Bullying has happened previously, so the school introduced the 'Stand Up Squad', a pupil-led team, to help everyone understand and oppose bullying. This approach is proving effective as fewer pupils are worried about bullying. Leaders ensure that all pupils, especially disadvantaged pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), access the full curriculum. Aspirations are mostly realised. The school gives strong support to pupils who need help to catch up. High-quality pastoral provision helps pupils with anxiety and emotional needs. Pupils feel safe and speak highly of the care they receive from staff. Pupils are proud to take on leadership roles. They love helping younger children at lunchtime and leading sports activities. Pupil parliament teaches everyone about democracy. Pupils learn to understand different faiths and cultures through well-planned lessons and assemblies. The extra-curricular offer includes everyone. Pupils are excited to attend dodgeball, Spanish, singing and gymnastics clubs.
What the school should improve
- There have been cases of bullying in the past. This continues to worry some pupils and parents. The school is rightly prioritising anti-bullying work and must ensure that these actions are effective. The school should redouble its efforts and improve communication about actions that are taken so that pupils and parents feel well informed and reassured.
