What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 September 2023
This is a welcoming and happy school. Pupils describe it as a place that treats everyone equally. Teachers help pupils to do their best. Pupils enjoy their learning and playing with their friends. The school has high expectations for pupils' behaviour. Pupils respond well to the school rules and routines that are in place. They behave well in lessons and when moving around the school. As a result, their learning progresses without interruption. This starts in the early years, where children follow instructions and behave well. Pupils value the positive relationships they have with staff. Staff and pupils treat one another with respect and kindness. Pupils feel safe and know that staff will listen to them. They particularly appreciate how the owl boxes in their classrooms help them to share any worries or concerns. There are many wide-ranging experiences to enrich the curriculum. Pupils speak fondly of the range of trips and clubs on offer to them, such as bike club and judo. They value the opportunities they have to become play leaders and school councillors. Pupils say that these roles help them to act as role models to others.
What the school should improve
- An effective curriculum is not yet fully implemented in some subjects. As a result, pupils have not yet gained the depth of knowledge that they should. The trust needs to ensure that all subjects are implemented fully and effectively so that pupils build the knowledge they need.
