What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 January 2025
Each morning, pupils are warmly greeted at the school gate. The thoughtful staff know every pupil by name. Time is taken to identify pupils' needs and where additional help may be required. Year 6 pupils particularly value this as they look to their transition to secondary school. They describe being eager to achieve well, supported by staff who remind them, 'We've got this.' In lessons, pupils use the 'Mayhill Habits' to inform how they and their classmates should behave. This includes the 'respect' they must show each other and the importance of building their 'independence' as they learn. Because of this, pupils strive to meet and achieve the high expectations staff have of them. They actively celebrate the achievements of their friends. Pupils feel valued and safe, knowing there is always a trusted adult they can talk to. They appreciate how they are being helped to learn and grow by both their school and village communities. Pupils from service families, known as the 'Mayhill Heroes', know that help is always provided when they need it the most, particularly when their parents are deployed. The well-trained staff, ably supported by the school dog 'Angus', encourage pupils to explore and manage their emotions. This supports pupils to learn well.
What the school should improve
- Staff are not consistently giving pupils with SEND the specific support they need to learn well. The learning for these pupils is not aways appropriately adapted to help them secure important knowledge and skills. The school must ensure that staff have the expertise they need to help pupils with SEND achieve well across the curriculum.
- Due to previous weaknesses in the curriculum, some pupils have some gaps in their knowledge that hinders them building their learning over time. As a result, some pupils do not achieve as well as they could. The school should continue to use its well- established assessment processes to identify and close any gaps in pupils' knowledge and understanding.
