What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 5 November 2024
Pupils love attending this school. They arrive each morning full of excitement for the day ahead. The school inspires them to be curious and so they are eager to learn and to contribute to the school community. Pupils are safe and happy. Love for one another underpins everything the school does, aligned to its ethos. Pupils understand the relevance of this, and of the school values, to their everyday lives. They treat one another with love and care. Pupils, parents and carers are warmly welcomed into the school family. Pupils build firm foundations, both social and academic, which prepare them well to continue their learning at their next school. Children in the early years get off to an exceptionally strong start. They settle in quickly, learn well and contribute to the wider school. The school has high aspirations for all pupils. Every pupil has a rich set of experiences during their time at the school. These broaden their experiences of the wider world. For instance, pupils visit London museums and places of interest in the local area.
What the school should improve
- Occasionally, in key stage 1 and 2 explanations are not precise enough. When this occurs, pupils do not understand or are unable to complete an activity. They do not always gain the knowledge that staff intend them to. The school needs to ensure that teaching consistently enables all pupils to fully learn the curriculum.
