What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 19 June 2024

This is a very nurturing and friendly school. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), feel safe and well cared for. They enjoy many opportunities to play with their friends. Pupils speak positively about the teachers and adults who work in the school. Children settle well when they join the early years class. They enjoy the well-thought-out learning activities both inside and outside. Most pupils try their best to live up to the expectations that the school has for their behaviour. They behave well and are enthusiastic about their learning. Bullying is rare. Pupils help each other in class and around the school. They are proud to have roles and responsibilities, such as sports ambassadors and school councillors. Pupils benefit from attending before- and after-school clubs. The school has identified what needs to improve for pupils, particularly those with additional needs. The school knows that pupils learn more in some subjects than others. They learn well in reading and mathematics. Older pupils enjoy reading and talk about their favourite books and authors. Pupils learn from the trips and experiences that staff plan for them. The curriculum is ambitious and broad ranging. The content of the curriculum is not sequenced precisely. This limits pupils' progress in some subjects.

What the school should improve

  • In many subjects, the school has not clearly identified the key knowledge, skills and vocabulary that pupils should learn or the precise order they should learn these. As a result, pupils do not build on their knowledge over time. This limits their achievement. The school should ensure that all curriculum plans identify the knowledge, skills and vocabulary pupils need to learn and the order these are to be taught.
  • In some lessons, learning activities are not adapted well enough to meet the needs of some pupils with SEND. As a result, these pupils do not achieve as well as they should. The school should ensure that learning is accessible to all pupils and that pupils with additional needs are supported with appropriate resources.
