What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 18 April 2023
Pupils are happy at this school. They say that they feel safe and have lots of friends. Pupils fulfil leaders' high expectations; they achieve well and behave sensibly. They move very calmly around the building, respecting the independence that staff give them. Bullying is dealt with well by leaders on the rare occasions that it arises. Pupils are thrilled with the new subject knowledge that they gain in lessons. They want to know even more, often because staff make learning so interesting. Pupils profit from educational trips, including to a temple and to hear an orchestra. Pupils learn some of the plays by William Shakespeare, such as Hamlet, through drama with nationally acclaimed actors and then by watching a professional performance. Pupils, spurred on by staff, are excited to find new and interesting words in the books that they read. For example, an older pupil said, 'I found the word 'colossal'; it's a synonym for big, massive or humongous.' Pupils enjoy taking roles to further develop the work of the school, such as by being a digital leader or member of the school council. They often take part in sporting competitions and learn to play different musical instruments, including brass.
What the school should improve
- Some of the essential knowledge that leaders want pupils to learn is less well identified in the curriculum, including in the early years. This makes it more difficult for staff to teach and assess some of the intended curriculum. Leaders should make certain that all of the curriculum is equally well thought out so that children and pupils learn the information that they need to know.
- Some leaders' knowledge of how the curriculum starts in the areas of learning in the early years is underdeveloped. These leaders are not well placed to help drive improvement of the curriculum in the early years. Senior leaders should ensure that all leaders are well informed about the knowledge that staff teach through the curriculum in the Nursery and Reception classes. As a result of this, leaders can then provide even greater support and challenge to early years staff about their curricular thinking.
