What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 September 2022
Pupils enjoy coming to this happy, caring school. They are well behaved, polite and eager to talk about what they like about their school. They are engaged in their lessons. At social times, they play actively and benefit from the activities that are provided for them. Leaders have high expectations of pupils. They rise to meet these. Pupils achieve well. Pupils feel safe at school. Bullying is a rare event. They feel confident that if they have a problem, staff will support them. Daily check-in sessions and worry boxes give pupils ways to raise any issues with staff. Older pupils talk maturely about the school's values: respect, self-belief and resilience. They relish the leadership opportunities they are given, which include eco-warriors, digital leaders and sports leaders. Pupils are very positive about the range of clubs and activities on offer. They include an extensive range of sports clubs, as well as arts and crafts, gardening and chess. Leaders work hard to try and identify activities that will interest all of the pupils.
What the school should improve
- Leaders have not ensured that the books that pupils read are appropriately matched to their current knowledge. This means that some pupils struggle to read books they are given. Leaders should ensure that teachers' assessment of reading is precise so that pupils read books that are carefully matched to their reading knowledge.
- In some foundation subjects, the curriculum is not supporting pupils to remember important knowledge. As a result, pupils can struggle to apply previous knowledge as they move through the school. Leaders should ensure that teachers provide regular opportunities for pupils to review and recall key knowledge. This will enable pupils to develop a deeper understanding of important subject concepts and be able to build on this knowledge.
