What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 November 2024
This is a warm and welcoming school. Pupils are happy to come to school each day. They greet their teachers cheerfully as they arrive. Relationships between staff and pupils are built on kindness and respect. The school's strong culture of care and consideration for pupils' safety permeates all that they do. Leaders have high expectations for all pupils. From the moment children begin in early years, they learn to strive to be the best version of themselves. They behave well and are eager to learn. Pupils are highly motivated by the school's 'Dream Team' characters that identify the attitudes and attributes the school wants them to develop. Pupils know that 'Dusty the dog' reminds them to be determined and 'Akira the anteater' models aspiration. In assembly, pupils sing with gusto, 'I am young, but I have my own dreams… aim high to the sky.' Pupils achieve well and leave the school ready for the next stage in their education. A large majority of parents and carers are supportive of the school. They describe the school as, 'nurturing', 'approachable', 'encouraging' and 'truly a haven in which children flourish'.
What the school should improve
- The school's approach to developing pupils' speaking and listening skills is not fully effective and needs refinement. As a result, some pupils struggle to develop the skills they need to communicate as well as they could. The school should ensure that the plans they have to develop speaking and listening across the school are effectively implemented and have the intended impact.
- There have been recent changes to oversight of the school's work at a local level. There is still more work to be done to ensure that the Anthem Community Council has the capacity to complete the responsibilities allocated to them and to ensure that the decisions leaders take are made with pupils' best interests at heart. The school should ensure that this work is securely embedded and provides the assurances required as set out by the trust.
