What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 26 September 2023

Pupils are proud of their school, and they achieve well. They know that adults want the very best for them, and they feel safe knowing there is always someone keeping an eye out for them. Help is at hand whenever they need it, whether with their learning or in the playground. Care and kindness shine through. Pupils celebrate diversity and enjoy finding out about people who are different to themselves. This helps them understand evermore about the world around them, including the world beyond Felixstowe. Pupils benefit from the high-quality opportunities to broaden their experiences, such as singing at Snape Maltings and getting to know residents in the local care home. Pupils generally behave well, both in class and as they move around the school. However, there are times when some pupils are disturbed too often by other pupils chatting in lessons. The youngest children in the early years receive a high-quality education. They are well supported and guided in their first year in school. Children quickly learn to respect their classroom, playground and one another. Their time in the early years helps them to lay down firm foundations on which to build as they move through the school.

What the school should improve

• In some subjects, teachers do not make appropriate adaptations to activities that help pupils to revise and apply using the knowledge they have been taught. This means that pupils do not develop as deep and detailed knowledge in some subjects as they do in the rest of the curriculum. The school should ensure that teachers consistently make appropriate choices about the activities they provide so that pupils develop a rich and detailed knowledge in these few remaining subjects.
