What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 February 2024
All are welcome at this highly inclusive school. Adults know all pupils very well. Both pupils and parents appreciate this. Staff and pupils are respectful to each other. Pupils are confident that they have a trusted adult to share any worries with. This helps pupils feel happy and safe. From the early years upwards, pupils respond very positively to adults' high expectations of their behaviour and learning. They understand the school's values and learning dispositions. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. Pupils enjoy their learning. They take part in interesting activities. Pupils appreciate the many enrichment opportunities on offer. These include outdoor learning experiences which build their resilience, risk-taking and independence. Varied trips and visits further enhance the taught curriculum. These include museums, field trips and theatre performances. For example, all Year 5 pupils take part in an annual Shakespeare festival and perform a Shakespeare play. There are many extra-curricular clubs. These include choir, board games, art and drama. Pupils participate in a range of sporting opportunities. All pupils contribute to the school council. Older pupils act as buddies for younger pupils and as play leaders.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, the school has not yet fully laid out the detailed connections they want pupils to make between subjects. As a result, in these areas of the curriculum, pupils do not always link their learning between subjects in the depth that leaders aspire to. The school should implement its plans to ensure connected knowledge is signposted within all areas of the curriculum and understood by staff. The school should ensure that staff then check that pupils can make these links securely to ensure the curriculum's ambitious aims are fully achieved.
