What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 March 2023
All pupils, including children in the early years, are happy, polite and respectful of others. They are sociable and interact kindly with one another. Pupils told the inspector that they feel safe in school. Leaders have high expectations for pupils' achievements. Pupils follow a broad and suitably ambitious curriculum. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve highly. Pupils understand and demonstrate the school's shared values of kindness, courtesy and cooperation. They are proud of their school, and they enjoy attending each day. Pupils behave well during social times. Leaders deal with any incidents of bullying swiftly and competently. Children and pupils look forward to exploring learning outside and in the school's yurt. Parents and carers are overwhelmingly positive about the school. They value how their children are cared for as individuals by staff. Leaders have designed a wide range of activities to develop pupils' interests. For example, pupils enjoy the different sporting clubs on offer, such as gymnastics and cricket. Leaders ensure that pupils are well informed about their next steps at secondary school. For instance, former pupils returned to school recently to talk about their career paths during an 'aspirations week' for pupils in Year 5.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of foundation subjects, leaders' curriculum thinking is not as well developed. In these subjects, leaders are not clear enough about the knowledge that they want pupils to know and remember. As a result, pupils do not secure as deep a body of knowledge as they do in other subjects. Leaders should ensure that they are clear about the knowledge that pupils should learn so that pupils can build successfully on what they know already.
