What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 July 2024
Pupils at the school are happy and well-cared for. They behave well. Strong foundations are laid when children join in Reception class. As a result, the school is calm and orderly. Pupils show high levels of respect for staff and their peers. They are kind and listen well to others' views. Staff know every pupil well. Pupils, including children in Reception, learn how to recognise their feelings and ask for help when needed. They are confident and resilient. Bullying is extremely rare. Pupils know there are trusted adults to help them resolve their differences. The curriculum at the school is broad and ambitious. Most pupils achieve well. They are enthusiastic about the books they have read. Pupils read widely and often. They have a secure knowledge of mathematical concepts. Pupils know that they can learn from mistakes. Pupils' broader development is embedded into school life. The school ensures that every pupil takes part in a range of extra-curricular activities. These include contributing to the wider community, learning first aid, participating in entrepreneurial endeavours, attending live performances and taking part in charity events.
What the school should improve
- The school does not check the impact of the curriculum effectively. This means that the school does not always have an accurate picture of whether the curriculum is enacted as intended, including for some pupils with SEND. The school must support leaders to effectively monitor their areas of responsibility, so that curriculum implementation is consistently effective.
- Assessment is not always used precisely and effectively. Sometimes teaching does not routinely check that all pupils understand before introducing new content, or deepening pupils' understanding. The school must sharpen its approach to assessment to ensure that all pupils learn the intended curriculum.
