What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 24 January 2023
The school's values 'learn, thrive and achieve' permeate into every aspect of daily life. Pupils' success and happiness are at the forefront of everything that happens here. They feel safe and trust staff. Incidents of bullying are dealt with effectively. Relationships between staff and pupils are respectful. Leaders have high expectations. An overwhelming majority of pupils work hard to achieve these. Pupils are confident and kind towards everyone. They speak enthusiastically and fondly about the drama, art, dancing and sports clubs they enjoy. Pupils are passionate about their roles as playtime buddies, eco-troopers, members of the school council and library monitors. They talk knowledgeably about individual liberty and mutual respect. One Year 4 pupil said, 'We make sure that everyone feels part of our school community. We appreciate each other and don't judge anyone here.' Breaktimes are sociable and pleasant occasions. Pupils regularly raise funds and donations for charities they support. Trips, such as visits to BP, Hampton Court Palace and other local areas of interest, help pupils learn about their community. Pupils know how to look after their health and well-being. They participate in a wide range of sporting and creative events in the area and beyond.
What the school should improve
- A few staff do not teach phonics consistently well. As a result, some of the youngest readers do not learn to read accurately. Leaders should continue to make sure that all staff who teach phonics are well trained.
- The curriculum in some foundation subjects and areas of learning does not set out precisely the essential knowledge pupils should learn and know well. Consequently, pupils do not achieve as well as they could. Leaders should ensure that the curriculum in all subjects is well structured and coherent.
- Some pupils have poor attendance. This means that they are missing out on important learning and vital school experiences. Leaders need to continue their work to reduce persistent absenteeism.
