What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 January 2023
This is a welcoming and caring school. New pupils and visitors are made to feel at home. Pupils care for and support each other. They respect each other's differences. One pupil, typical of many, said, 'The school helps us appreciate differences in all. Everyone is unique in their own way.' Staff have high expectations of pupils. Pupils live up to the vision of 'aiming for the top'. They 'enjoy, respect and achieve'. Teachers expect pupils to be good learners. Pupils understand that never giving up and working together leads to success. Pupils behave well. In lessons, they listen with care to what each pupil has to say. Positive behaviours are instilled from the moment children enter the early years. Pupils are very positive in their views about behaviour in school. They say that bullying is rare. If bullying should happen, leaders take swift action to stop it. This helps pupils to feel safe in school. Pupils take on leadership roles in school. They are proud to be prefects, librarians and magnificent mind champions. Pupils value the homely feel of the school, including Shelby, the school tortoise, and the school fish who are all part of the family.
What the school should improve
- Some foundation subjects are not yet sufficiently well developed. Essential knowledge that pupils need to know and remember is not precisely identified. As a result, some pupils do not know these curriculums as well as they should. Leaders should ensure that, in all curriculum subjects, they identify the essential pieces of knowledge that pupils need to learn across each year group. This will help pupils to know and remember more over time.
- Some pupils are not attending school regularly enough. As a result, they miss too much learning and do not achieve as well as they should. Leaders and staff should continue to work with children and their families to reinforce attendance expectations and to make sure that pupils attend school regularly so they can achieve their full potential.
