What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 24 May 2023
This is a very caring and happy place to learn. Leaders ensure that the school's values of kindness, respect, ambition, determination, courage and honesty are interwoven throughout school life. Pupils respond positively to the high expectations teachers have of them. This includes children in the early years. Pupils are kind and respectful towards each other and adults. There is a calm and orderly atmosphere around the school that is built on positivity and respect. Pupils behave well in class and during social times. Pupils show positive attitudes towards their learning. They work hard and are motivated to do well. Relationships between staff and pupils are warm and nurturing. Pupils have each identified five trusted adults who they can talk to if they have a worry. They know they will be listened to, and this means they feel happy and safe. Leaders provide a rich range of experiences for pupils, including visits to the National Opera House and to the theatre to watch the Lion King and participation in three residential trips. Leaders provide a range of clubs, including gardening, football and dodgeball. Pupils enjoy looking after the school's gardening areas. These activities help pupils to develop their talents and pursue their interests.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects that are in the early stages of implementation, leaders have not set out systems to check what pupils know and remember. This means that pupils have gaps in their knowledge. Leaders should make sure that staff check pupils' learning in these subjects so that any gaps can be identified and addressed.
- Sometimes in the early years, adults do not model language effectively, extending children's vocabulary and sentence structure. This means that sometimes children miss out on opportunities to hear and practise new language. Leaders need to ensure that children acquire the language they need for future learning across all curriculum areas.
