What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 8 March 2023

Leaders and staff are ambitious for all pupils. Leaders expect pupils to achieve well. The curriculum is well thought through and supports the school's aim of 'learning together for life'. Pupils have positive attitudes to learning. The atmosphere around the school is calm and purposeful. This is because staff have high expectations of pupils. Pupils are kind and respectful towards one another. Pupils enjoy using the range of equipment and playing in the large outdoor space at breaktime. Pupils behave well in lessons and when moving around the school. Lessons are not disrupted by poor behaviour. Pupils are not worried about bullying because it rarely happens, and if it does, staff act quickly so it stops. They know they will be listened to, and as a result feel happy and safe. Leaders listen to pupils and value their opinions. They create different ways for pupils to share their ideas about the school. For example, members of the pupil governing body and leaders worked together to run a food bank to support those in need. Leaders provide a range of clubs, including football, dance and choir. These activities support pupils to develop their talents and pursue their interests.

What the school should improve

  • Sometimes, adults working with weaker readers intervene too quickly and blend sounds for them. As a result, pupils have less time to practise their phonics skills and their progress is slowed. Leaders should ensure that staff support pupils effectively when they are practising their reading.
