What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 May 2022
Pupils are proud to be part of their school community. They say that it is important to treat others as they would like to be treated. This caring approach is evident in how pupils treat each other. They are courteous and friendly. Older and younger pupils play together happily. Playtimes are fun, with lots of equipment and plenty to do, such as football on the artificial turf. Pupils enjoy their learning and take pride in doing their best. One pupil commented, 'The teachers here will always help you,' and this reflects the view of many. Children learn well from when they first join in the early years. They work together eagerly in lessons. They share ideas and listen to each other thoughtfully. They develop a love of reading. As pupils get older, they read widely and well. Pupils learn to stay safe and healthy. They know the importance of healthy eating, exercise and plenty of sleep. They are aware of the risks when online and know to tell an adult straight away if they have concerns. On the rare occasions where bullying occurs, pupils are confident that adults deal with it well. Pupils develop their talents at clubs such as tennis, choir and art.
What the school should improve
- Many governors have joined recently. They do not know the school well enough and rely too much on the headteacher for the information they receive. This means they cannot provide the support and challenge that is part of their role. Governors need to ensure that they have appropriate strategies to be able to have an accurate strategic oversight of leaders' work.
- In a few subjects, plans do not set out the most important learning clearly enough. Staff are not as confident to deliver these subjects effectively. Leaders need to improve planning and staff training in these subjects, so that they are delivered well. Leaders also need to ensure that their monitoring identifies how well pupils are remembering and building on the key learning in these subjects.
