What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 13 September 2022

Pupils are full of enthusiasm about their school. They discussed their learning and achievements with pride. Pupils treat each other respectfully. They spoke about the school being a kind place. Pupils said that bullying rarely happens. If it does, staff deal with it quickly. Pupils behave well because all staff make their expectations clear. Pupils are safe and happy. They are confident to share concerns with any member of staff. Leaders provide high-quality pastoral support to pupils. The school's 'Meridian Learning Muscles' are used to encourage positive character development for all pupils. All staff are committed to every pupil's welfare, well-being and academic success. In the early years, staff set the bar high from the moment children join the school. Staff motivate children with a rich learning environment that captivates their interest. Leaders hold regular parent and carer reading sessions. These are well attended and valued. Parents said that they enjoy these sessions because they learn how to support their children with reading at home. In the online survey, many parents said that they would recommend the school to others. One parent's comment that captured the opinion of many was, 'Staff clearly care about my child and us as a family.'

What the school should improve

  • In a small number of wider curriculum subjects, pupils do not have the same opportunities to revisit or practise key learning as in other subjects. This means that pupils do not remember important knowledge in these subjects as well as in others. Leaders should continue to embed the intended curriculum. This will enable all pupils to know and remember more in every subject.
