What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 11 October 2023

Pupils enjoy coming to school. They are happy and safe. Staff create beautiful environments where pupils can thrive. They provide the care and nurture each pupil needs to do their best. Pupils are proud to perform the school anthem, which they helped to write. It represents the school's vision that anything is possible. The school has high aspirations for every pupil, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The curriculum is broad and engaging. Enrichment activities, such as visits to outdoor activity centres, a living history museum, art galleries and a farm, help to bring learning to life. Pupils are polite and respectful. They try hard in lessons and play happily together at breaktimes. There are no recorded incidents of bullying or of racist or homophobic name-calling. Pupils say that, occasionally, some pupils are silly in class and that bullying and inappropriate name-calling happen. They are confident that staff deal effectively with any issues. Music is at the heart of school life. Every pupil learns to play a musical instrument and has voice coaching. They have many opportunities to perform for parents and carers and in the community. Staff provide a changing programme of after-school clubs for pupils to enjoy. These include craft, computing, multi-sports, choir and string band.

What the school should improve

  • Some pupils do not remember prior learning consistently well across the curriculum. Leaders should check what pupils can remember and adjust the curriculum to address gaps in pupils' knowledge.
  • Missed opportunities to extend children's ideas in the early years influence how well they develop communication and language skills. Leaders should provide appropriate training in effective communication and modelling of language for staff.
