What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 16 May 2023
Pupils enjoy coming to school and say teachers keep them safe. They are proud of their school and treat each other as equals. Pupils say that the school values, brought together under the acronym 'LEARN', help them to be better learners. Staff and pupils enjoy positive relationships, which is visible across the school. Parents are overwhelmingly positive about the care and support their children receive. Leaders have high expectations of pupils' behaviour. Pupils say that bullying rarely happens. However, if they have any anxieties, they can add their concerns to the class 'worry box'. Pupils trust staff to help them build strong friendships and play together sensibly. Pupils are positive about learning and settle down to class activities well. They are considerate of each other and adults when sharing ideas. Pupils understand that some of their friends may need extra support. They go out of their way to ensure that everyone feels included and nobody is left out. Staff nurture pupils to become resilient, independent and confident. Pupils learn to celebrate what makes everyone different and unique.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the curriculum is underdeveloped. In these subjects, pupils do not gain such deep knowledge as they do in others. Leaders need to ensure that the curriculum is well sequenced in all subjects so that pupils learn more and remember more over time.
