What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 January 2025
This is a friendly and caring school with the local community at its heart. Relationships between staff and pupils are strong. Pupils benefit from close pastoral support, from staff who know them well. This helps pupils to feel happy, valued and safe. They love coming to school and engage well with their learning. The school's culture is inclusive. Pupils are kind to each other and show respect for others. Their behaviour is very positive. Pupils know the school's values and follow them closely. They say that bullying rarely happens and trust staff to resolve any concerns. Staff have high aspirations for what pupils can achieve. Pupils study an ambitious curriculum. They take every chance to read, choosing books from the wide range available. Pupils also get plenty of opportunities to explore the world beyond their own experiences. Year 6 pupils, for example, visit the Eden Camp Modern History Museum to develop their knowledge of the Second World War. Pupils also enjoy visits from inspirational people, such as Team GB athletes. These opportunities help pupils to become confident individuals. One pupil said, 'I want to be kind, brave and a voice for change.'
What the school should improve
- For some pupils, the quality of support to improve their knowledge of phonics varies. As a result, these pupils do not improve their reading fluency and accuracy as quickly as they should. The school should ensure it supports staff to deliver phonics lessons consistently well, so that pupils in the early stages of reading catch up as swiftly as possible.
- Sometimes, staff do not provide pupils with sufficient opportunities to link new learning to what they know already. When this is the case, pupils sometimes struggle to recall what they have learned in these subjects in sufficient detail. The school should ensure that the way the curriculum is implemented gives pupils plenty of opportunities to deepen their knowledge and understanding of each subject.
