What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 26 November 2024
Pupils are proud of their school. They champion difference and celebrate the diversity that exists within their school and wider community. Everyone's uniqueness is fostered, and everyone is welcomed. Relationships between staff and pupils are highly respectful. Behaviour in lessons and around school is positive. Pupils are keen to learn, and they are happy to play together and eager to please. The school's aspirations for pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are high. Care is taken to remove any potential barrier to enable pupils to be in school, to learn and ultimately achieve well. By the time that pupils leave Year 6, they are confident, articulate learners who are well prepared for the next stage of their education. Pupils have a voice and are listened to in school. The 'LCP way' runs through each pupil like a stick of rock. They are 'loud, clear and proud'. The school's work to develop pupils' communication skills results in self-assured pupils who can discuss and debate topics with other pupils. An extension of this work was the recent Year 6 mock court case that was linked to cyber-bullying where each pupil took on a role to persuade or defend.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, teachers do not provide enough opportunities for pupils to revisit the essential knowledge, skills and vocabulary that they have been taught previously. On occasion, this prevents some pupils from having sufficiently secure foundations on which to build new learning. The school should develop a consistent strategy across subjects to ensure that pupils embed knowledge successfully into their long-term memory.
