What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 6 December 2023
The school's motto to 'Treasure each individual' underpins the caring ethos in this close-knit, community school. It values every pupil and sees them as unique. Parents and pupils are full of praise for the school. Parents appreciate the dedication of staff and strong leadership of the headteacher. Pupils like their teachers and enjoy learning. These positive attitudes contribute to pupils' high attendance. The school offers a wide range of exciting opportunities to realise its ambition for pupils to 'be the best they can be'. Learning experiences encourage pupils to explore and discover their interests and talents beyond the classroom. These include clubs such as football, debating, yoga and quidditch. Enrichment afternoons also provide opportunities for pupils to extend their skills and interests, such as through forest school, participation in competitions and theatre performances. Pupils feel safe at school. They know they can turn to a trusted adult in school if they are worried about anything and they will be listened to. They are confident that adults deal with any behaviour or bullying incidents quickly. Personal safety is interwoven into the curriculum. Pupils learn how to keep themselves safe in different situations, for example, online.
What the school should improve
- The curriculum in some areas of the early years curriculum, and a few foundation subjects, is not as well organised as in other subjects. This leads to variation in how well pupils understand and remember what they learn. The school should continue to develop the curriculum in these subjects so that pupils build their knowledge sequentially and securely from Reception to Year 6.
- Some pupils access reading books which are not phonically decodable. This hinders their ability to develop the skills needed to be successful early readers. The school should ensure that all reading books allow pupils to practise and apply the phonic skills they learn in lessons.
- Some pupils in a small number of classes do not behave as well as they should. They sometimes become distracted and disengage from learning. The school should ensure that all staff have high expectations of behaviour and that the school's behaviour policy is implemented consistently by staff in each key stage.
