What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 26 September 2023
Pupils are happy to come to school here. All pupils are welcomed with the same warmth and care, both those who have grown up locally and those who have recently moved to the country. They trust staff and know they will be supported with any concerns they may have. Pupils understand that staff have high expectations of their learning and behaviour. They are keen to meet these expectations, and most try hard in their lessons. At social times, pupils play happily together. Following the request made by the 'pupil parliament', they now enjoy being able to spend time with friends in different year groups on Fridays. There are many memorable experiences enjoyed by pupils. These include visits to the school from sheep on 'farm day', taking part in the local arts festival and having a sleepover in the school hall. Most pupils take part in the wide range of clubs on offer, including cheerleading, fitness and chess. Many support the school community through being librarians, play leaders and stair monitors. The school works well with parents and carers. Workshops help parents to know how to support their child's learning. One parent, representing the views of many, described this as a 'lovely school, with lovely staff'.
What the school should improve
- The school does not have a clear strategy to support older pupils who are not yet confident, fluent readers. Consequently, some pupils are not reading well enough for their age. The school should ensure there is effective support in place to help these pupils make progress more quickly.
- The school's behaviour policy and expectations are not always followed consistently. This means that not all pupils are supported appropriately with their behaviour and helped to make the right choices. The school should ensure that the work on the new behaviour policy provides all staff with the confidence and skills to apply it consistently and appropriately for all pupils.
