What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 24 May 2023
This is a school built upon foundations of care and kindness. Strong relationships are evident between pupils and staff. Leaders model this high level of care and compassion. Staff follow their lead. Pupils thrive in this nurturing atmosphere. They are able to appreciate and celebrate their uniqueness. The motto of 'All equal, all different, all unique', is understood, lived and experienced by pupils on a daily basis. The red ribbon on the school logo represents the sense of connection staff, pupils and families feel. Parents are highly positive about the work leaders are undertaking to continue to move the school forward, and the level of care and attention their children receive. These relationships between leaders and parents are mirrored in the relationships pupils build with adults in school. Pupils are rightly very confident that if they have concerns, these can be shared with, and dealt with, by an adult they trust. Although bullying is rare, when it does happen, pupils know this will be dealt with quickly and with seriousness. Pupils are engaged and enthusiastic in their lessons and enjoy sharing their successes and learning from previous units of work and subjects.
What the school should improve
- Some pupils who need help with their reading do not have frequent enough op- portunities to read books that give them the chance to practise the sounds they are being taught in their catch-up lessons. As a result, these pupils do not catch up with peers as quickly as they could. Leaders should ensure that pupils who need support with reading have more frequent opportunities to read books that are closely matched to the sounds they are practising, so that they can develop their fluency and catch up with their peers as quickly as possible.
