What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 24 September 2024
Pupils enjoy attending this inclusive and happy school. Adults care about pupils. This helps pupils feel safe and secure. Pupils attend well. The carefully designed curriculum gives pupils lots of opportunities to acquire new knowledge. Pupils enjoy learning new things. There are high expectations for pupils to achieve well. Consequently, they are largely successful in learning what leaders intend. Alongside their academic learning, pupils build their character through the school values. Pupils learn how to be curious and resilient as part of lessons and assemblies. This helps pupils develop into well-rounded citizens. Enrichment opportunities, such as trips and outdoor learning, give pupils the chance to broaden their horizons and experience new things. Leadership roles, such as those of school councillors and the head boy/girl, enable pupils to take on additional responsibilities. This supports pupils to take an active role in school life. Pupils respond positively to the clear expectations that the school sets and they behave well. This means the school is a calm and orderly place, where learning typically proceeds without disruption. Playtimes are a hive of activity. Pupils come together with older pupils from the adjoining junior school and socialise happily. They are active and interact confidently with older pupils.
What the school should improve
- At times, teachers do not present new information with enough precision. This means that pupils do not learn the knowledge set out in the curriculum as intended. The school should ensure that staff have the expertise and knowledge to consistently explain the important information precisely to pupils.
- Sometimes, in early years, adults do not interact in a way that maximises children's opportunity to develop their early language and communication. This means children's language and vocabulary do not develop as the school intends. School leaders need to ensure staff have the necessary knowledge and expertise to engage fully in high- quality interactions within early years.
