What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 February 2024
Pupils like coming to school. They follow the school's values of respect, responsibility and resilience. They take pride in their school and feel safe. Pupils take full advantage of clubs available. These include athletics, dance and cricket. They can also learn to play brass musical instruments. Pupils have lots of opportunities to contribute to their school. Some act as pupil councillors, while others give advice about keeping safe when learning online. Pupils receive awards for making a positive contribution and being good role models. Pupils enjoy their learning. They know that teachers expect them to work hard. Pupils are able to recall their knowledge. They can talk about what they have learned, and they build their knowledge over time. Pupils understand equality. They say that everyone is welcome in school. Racism is not tolerated. They know that staff will help them. There is a togetherness in the school and the community. Parents, staff and pupils see this as a strength. The behaviour in school is good. Pupils are well mannered and polite, both in lessons and during social times. In class, pupils follow instructions and are keen to learn. When they are outside, they share equipment with each other. They treat the staff and their friends with respect.
What the school should improve
- Some pupils are persistently absent from school. These pupils do not learn important curriculum knowledge, and they miss out on wider experiences to support their personal development. The school needs to continue its work to improve attendance so that all pupils come to school often.
- Some of the changes made by the school to strengthen the teaching of phonics are quite recent. As a result, a few pupils in Years 1 and 2 do not always use their knowledge of phonics when they try to decode unfamiliar words. This affects how fluently and accurately these pupils read. The school must ensure that all pupils have the knowledge and skills they need to read well.
