What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 22 March 2023

The school is an inviting and happy place to be. The school's motto of 'achieve, believe, contribute' is at the heart of everything the school does. There is a purposeful buzz of learning throughout the school. Pupils are wonderful ambassadors for the school. They understand the school's expectations and behave impeccably. Pupils are friendly and polite. Staff provide opportunities for pupils to shine. For example, Year 4 pupils enjoy performing in assembly. They confidently sing, dance and share what they have learned. The school provides pupils with exciting experiences. In forest school, pupils build dens, use tools and make willow sculptures. Pupils enjoy clubs such as theatrical dance. Staff are sensitive to pupils' needs and form caring relationships with them. Pupils feel safe because they trust staff to look after them. Pupils confirm that bullying is rare and adults quickly sort out any problems. For example, pupils use 'chatterbox' to share worries with an adult. Parents are very happy with the school. Typical comments describe the school's nurturing and caring environment.

What the school should improve

  • In subjects where leaders have improved the curriculum, they are still refining assessment. This means that, in these subjects, assessment does not yet precisely identify whether pupils securely develop the knowledge, skills and vocabulary leaders expect them to. Leaders must sharpen assessment so that they can swiftly identify when there are gaps in pupils' learning, and adapt the curriculum accordingly so that pupils are well prepared for the next steps in their learning.
