What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 12 July 2022
Mornington is a popular and vibrant school. Pupils and staff are proud to celebrate the range of faiths and cultures represented in the school community. Many parents and carers express positive views about the care and education their children receive. They say that teachers are caring and approachable. Pupils say that they are happy and enjoy school. They are polite and well behaved, in lessons and as they move around school. Pupils say that they feel safe. They understand that bullying is wrong. Pupils say that they would tell an adult straight away if there was a problem. Staff handle concerns quickly and effectively. Pupils are aware of the school's values expressed as 'three Rs': ready, respectful, responsible. They say that it is 'okay to be different' because they respect everyone. All pupils can join a wide range of clubs and activities. These include sports, crafts, yoga, chess, music and many others. These activities help to promote pupils' personal development, health and well-being. Children in the early years settle quickly at school. They make a strong start in early reading and mathematics. Pupils of all ages show positive attitudes to learning. Strong relationships support pupils to learn and develop well.
What the school should improve
- Leaders have rewritten the curriculum so that it sets out the key knowledge and skills pupils should acquire, and when, from the early years to Year 6. In a small number of foundation subjects, and in mathematics, the subject-specific content is not as precisely identified and sequenced as in all other subjects. Teachers are not given clear enough guidance to support the consistent implementation of the curriculum, in those areas. Pupils' knowledge and skills do not build sequentially as well as they might. Leaders should ensure that the curriculum supports all pupils to know and remember more, in all subjects, as they progress through the school.
