What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 18 October 2022
Pupils enjoy coming to this happy and caring school. They understand the importance of working to uphold the school's RESPECT values (responsibility, enthusiasm, sense of pride, perseverance, empathy, curiosity and teamwork). Pupils demonstrate these values in different ways. Play leaders, house captains and members of the school council enjoy the responsibilities they are given. The 'Bassett Business Kids' recently raised money to donate to a memorial for local miners. Pupils say they feel safe at school. It is typically called a 'family' by pupils, parents and carers and staff. Pupils say bullying is very rare. They are confident that staff would sort out any occurrence quickly. Pupils know they can go to any adult in school if they have a concern or worry. They know that staff will listen and help them. Pupils are kind and polite. They behave well in lessons and around the school. Relationships between staff and pupils are respectful and positive. Pupils hold their teachers in high regard. Pupils enjoy a wide range of experiences while at school. The various clubs on offer, such as: newspaper, gymnastics, choir and Little Samurai are all very popular.
What the school should improve
- Leaders have not established consistent systems to identify gaps in pupils' learning in some subjects. Where curriculum thinking is less clear, teachers do not check carefully enough whether pupils are successful at acquiring new knowledge and using it fluently. Leaders should ensure that checks on pupils' learning help teachers determine precise next steps for pupils, without causing unnecessary burdens for staff or pupils.
- Some pupils' knowledge of British values and different faiths is fragile. Pupils know they should respect differences. However, some pupils are not as aware as they should be of what these differences may be. Leaders should ensure that pupils have the necessary knowledge and understanding of British values and different faiths.
