What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 23 January 2024
Pupils are happy, enjoy learning and flourish at this friendly and inclusive school. They are polite and eager to talk about the things they enjoy doing at school. Pupils enjoy their lessons and they attend school regularly. They are proud to represent their school in leadership roles, such as student councillors and 'buzzing buddies'. School leaders and staff are ambitious for all pupils. They encourage pupils to work hard in their lessons and pupils aim to achieve this. Although the school has high expectations for how pupils present their work, sometimes this is not always met. Leaders of individual subjects are knowledgeable and pupils are taught a wide range of important concepts in lessons. Pupils are generally kind to one another and bullying is rare. They know if they have a problem, that staff in school will support them. At social times, pupils play safely with one another. There is a wide range of clubs, including Lego club, art club and choir, that pupils enjoy attending after school. The school is an important part of the local community. Pupils take part in many events such as the Christmas carol concert and visits to the local old peoples' home. Most parents and carers say they would recommend the school to others.
What the school should improve
- Subject leaders do not routinely check pupils' learning in some subjects. As a result, they are not aware if pupils are learning the knowledge and skills they want them to know. The school should ensure that subject leaders review the curriculum they have planned and regularly check pupils' work and understanding of what they have learned in order to plan subsequent steps in learning.
- Teachers do not consistently address the quality of the presentation of pupils' work. Consequently, in some classes, pupils' writing and number formation is incorrect and not addressed. The school needs to ensure that teachers are clear about their expectations for the presentation of work, including correct letter and number formation, and that these expectations and standards are applied consistently.
