What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 1 October 2024

Pupils are part of a family at this close-knit and inclusive school. Pupils celebrate their different backgrounds and the links to the nearby military base Defence School of Transport in Leconfield. All pupils are made to feel welcome. Pupils enjoy learning. Most pupils achieve well in published assessments. However, a small number of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) do not receive the precise support they need. Some pupils with weaker literacy or reading skills do not receive the precise feedback they need to improve. Children learn routines and behavioural expectations in early years. This prepares them well for the main school. Pupils behave well and are welcoming to visitors. Pupil leaders, such as the Year 6 'headers', enjoy acting as ambassadors for the school. Pupils feel safe and trust the adults at the school. Pupils actively support the community. They vote to support different charities, such as Children in Need and the Soldiers', Sailors' & Airmen's Families Association, each term. They gather food to support the local food bank at St Catherine's Church in Leconfield. These activities give pupils a sense of responsibility for others. Pupils participate in different clubs, including hockey, netball, computing and art. They enjoy forest school, adventure camps and cultural trips to cities such as Liverpool.

What the school should improve

  • Staff do not consistently identify and correct misconceptions with sounds and transcription in early key stage 1. This delays how well some pupils master these skills. The school should ensure that misconceptions with sounds and transcription are consistently identified and corrected.
  • The school is inconsistent with the identification and support of pupils with SEND. This means that some pupils with SEND do not receive the precise support that they need. The school should ensure that provision for pupils with SEND is consistent and supports their progress through the curriculum.
  • Processes of quality assurance are not fully developed and embedded. This means that some inconsistencies exist across some aspects of the school's provision. The school should ensure that quality assurance processes and systems are fully embedded, and used consistently, across the school.
