What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 7 February 2023

Pupils are proud to belong to this inclusive and happy school. Leaders ensure that the school's values and motto, 'To become the person I need to be', are at the centre of everything they do. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are well supported and participate fully in all aspects of school life. Pupils work hard and enjoy learning. Expectations of behaviour are high, including for Reception-aged children. Here, children make an excellent start to their school life. As they grow in this nurturing environment, pupils develop confidence and self-esteem. Pupils feel safe and trust staff to help with any worries or disagreements. If bullying occurs, leaders deal with it effectively. Pupils have many opportunities to enrich their learning. They are eager to take on leadership roles or compete in sporting and inter-house challenges. Pupils benefit from a range of clubs and activities that help to foster their interests and talents. They understand the importance of treating everyone fairly and respectfully. Pupils learn how to appreciate and debate different viewpoints on important topics and current affairs. They value being part of the wider village community and are well prepared for life in modern Britain.

What the school should improve

  • The approach to teaching phonics is not consistently effective. Some staff lack the expertise in ensuring that all pupils make secure progress and in knowing how to support the weakest readers to catch up quickly. Leaders need to make sure that all staff have the knowledge and confidence to deliver the chosen phonics programme effectively.
  • In some subjects, leaders have not fully considered how teaching will support pupils to learn the intended curriculum. This means that some pupils do not learn as well as they could. Leaders should ensure that they support teachers to build on pupils' prior learning and help them to remember long term the most important content.
