What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 1 October 2024
Pupils are happy at this welcoming school. They have positive relationships with staff and each other. Pupils appreciate how well cared for they are by kind and nurturing staff. This helps pupils to feel safe in school. The school's motto, 'let everyone shine,' is brought to life daily. Pupils feel valued and accepted. They are supported to achieve their personal best. Pupils are taught the importance of kindness and respect and demonstrate these values every day. The school has high expectations for pupils' achievement. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils are positive about school and their learning. Typically, they achieve well across a broad range of subjects. Year 6 pupils are well prepared for their secondary education. Most pupils conduct themselves well in lessons and at playtimes. They enjoy the praise and rewards that they receive for behaving well and following the school's rules. Pupils are proud of the positive contribution that they make to school life. They speak enthusiastically about the many responsibilities that they enjoy. These responsibilities include taking on roles such as 'buddies' for children in reception and worship monitors. Pupils value the opportunities that they have to raise funds for local and national charities.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, the school is not effective at evaluating the delivery and impact of the curriculum. This means that some weaknesses are not identified and acted on in a timely manner. In turn, this hinders pupils' achievement in these subjects. The school should ensure that it gathers and evaluates monitoring information effectively so that it can quickly address any shortcomings in subject curriculums.
- A small number of pupils struggle to regulate their behaviour in class. On occasions, they disrupt the learning of others. The school should ensure that staff are well equipped to support these pupils so that they, and other pupils, can learn all that they should.
