What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 29 March 2022
Pupils treat each other with kindness and respect. Older pupils form nurturing relationships with those in other years. Pupils in Year 6 play with and care for Reception year children at breaktimes. In Year 5, selected pupils are lunchtime peer mediators and take pride in helping other pupils to sort out any disagreements. Pupils behave exceptionally well in and out of lessons. Leaders have put in place appropriate systems to deal with any incidents of bullying, should they occur. Pupils are safe in school and said that bullying does not happen. Leaders expect pupils to achieve well. They provide support to help pupils to keep up. As a result, most pupils meet leaders' high expectations. Leaders design a curriculum to engage and interest pupils. They think carefully about the important knowledge that pupils need to know and remember in subjects. Pupils take part in various wider opportunities such as trips and extra-curricular clubs. For instance, pupils spoke enthusiastically about taking part in sports competitions against other schools. Leaders work with external organisations to provide enrichment opportunities such as workshops linked to the curriculum.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes, teaching does not make clear to pupils what the important subject knowledge is that they need to know. As a result, some pupils recall the activities they have done, but do not remember the key knowledge that the curriculum intended them to learn. Leaders and teachers should make sure that pupils are routinely clear what important knowledge they need to know and remember.
- Leaders do not make sure that learning in the early years prepares children equally well across all areas so that they are ready for Year 1. Leaders should continue with their plans to make sure that what children learn in the early years gives pupils the foundations they need for learning subject content in Year 1 and beyond.
