What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 25 April 2023

This is a school that welcomes everyone. Pupils are happy and confident learners. Leaders have high expectations for all. Pupils achieve well. The school has effective support in place for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils' behaviour in lessons is calm and orderly. They said that if bullying occurs, teachers deal with it quickly and effectively. One parent echoed the views of many when they stated: 'Staff are helpful, friendly and caring about our children.' Teachers encourage pupils to take on leadership roles. This includes being part of the school council. Pupils talked positively about their roles and the difference this made to their confidence. They take part in a variety of outings and visits. Older pupils talked with enthusiasm about meeting local scientists and sports people. This helps them to start thinking about future careers and moving to secondary school. Staff promote the school's values well, including resilience and respectfulness. Teachers help pupils to respect others, including those in different families and cultures. For example, one pupil said, reflecting the thoughts of many pupils, 'We are a big family.'

What the school should improve

  • In a few foundation subjects, leaders do not identify the crucial content that pupils need to learn, and when. In these subjects, teaching does not help to deepen pupils' understanding securely. Leaders should ensure that curriculum planning sets out the order in which important knowledge should be learned, and that teachers use strategies effectively to help pupils to know and remember more over time.
  • Occasionally, leaders do not ensure that pupils at the early stages of reading receive regular opportunities to develop their reading. Where this occurs, this limits pupils' reading fluency. Leaders should ensure that pupils at the early stages of reading have precise support and regular practise so that they can catch up quickly.
