What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 5 March 2024

The school's motto of 'All of Us Together' demonstrates the nature of this inclusive and friendly place to learn. Leaders have high expectations of what pupils can achieve. Pupils rise to these. They have a strong desire to learn. This is reflected by how well pupils build their knowledge across the curriculum. Pupils feel safe and happy at school. They have trusting relationships with adults. To support this, the school's curriculum enables pupils to keep safe both online and in the wider world. Children in the early years settle quickly and make a strong start. Older pupils know the school rules of 'Ready, respectful, safe'. This means they know what is expected of them. The school offers an array of opportunities to develop pupils' interests. These include competitive sports, performances and clubs, such as roller-skating, science and art. Trips are carefully linked to the curriculum, including visits to the SS Great Britain, Weston- Super-Mare beach and an aerospace museum. The school has a sharp focus on pupils' spoken language. Pupils take part in oracy competitions and a Shakespeare festival. As a result, pupils are articulate and develop in confidence.

What the school should improve

  • Within the pre-school, the curriculum is in its early stages of development. This means that, on occasion, activity choices are not precisely selected to prepare children fully for future learning in the Reception Year. The school needs to ensure that the pre-school children are prepared for their Reception Year.
