What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 September 2023
Leaders have high aspirations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Staff inspire pupils to be curious learners. Pupils enjoy lessons and value learning new things. The school prepares pupils well for transition into Year 3. There is a strong culture of keeping children safe. Working relationships between adults and staff are respectful. This underpins the positive behaviour in the school. Pupils know the school rules and learn about the difference between right and wrong. Staff enable pupils to manage their emotions and resolve any minor disagreements positively. Leaders provide a range of opportunities and experiences that enhance pupils' talents and interests. Pupils participate in a wide range of clubs, such as choir, tennis and Spanish. They take pride in representing their school as members of the school parliament and in local sporting competitions. The school is part of a close-knit community. Many parents and carers and staff shared that the school is a nurturing environment that enables pupils to thrive. Parents appreciated the guidance they receive to support their children's learning and development at home.
What the school should improve
- On occasions, teachers do not routinely check what pupils know and can do to adapt and meet the range of pupils' needs. This limits the development of some pupils' knowledge and skills securely. The school should continue to develop staff's confidence and expertise in adapting teaching to enable all pupils to access the intended curriculum successfully.
