What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 October 2023
Pupils are well looked after in this school. They are happy and safe. Pupils are confident to seek help if they have any concerns. Adults in school know the pupils very well. They are quick to support pupils if they are hurt or feel worried. Pupils rise to the school's high expectations of their academic achievement. Staff provide timely support when needed to enable pupils to keep up. This helps pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), to typically achieve well across the curriculum. Pupils understand the school values and they live up to them. They behave well and play together harmoniously. The school values pupils' opinions. Pupils said that their voices are always heard. They enjoy frequent opportunities to debate topical issues. For example, pupils have recently expressed their views on free school meals to their local Member of Parliament. Experiences such as these enable pupils to become active citizens, who contribute positively to society.
What the school should improve
- Teachers do not routinely check whether pupils have understood what they have been taught in some subjects. This sometimes means that they are not sure how well pupils are building up their knowledge securely over time. The school should ensure that teachers check on pupils' learning regularly, so that they can spot, and then address, misconceptions or gaps in learning.
- In some subjects, the school has not identified the key knowledge that pupils should know and remember from the early years to Year 6. As a result, sometimes pupils do not deepen their learning as well as they could. The school should make sure that the curriculum sets out the knowledge that pupils will learn in all subjects, including in the early years.
