What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 15 October 2024

Pupils are happy and safe at this diverse and inclusive school. They behave well, and lessons are free from disruption. This enables pupils to work hard. They enjoy learning and are proud to be 'Crofties'. The school has high expectations for what pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), can achieve. Staff build nurturing relationships with pupils and help them to 'Be the best that you can be'. Pupils achieve well in their learning, including in the national reading, writing and mathematics assessments in Year 6. Pupils benefit from opportunities to be leaders, including being part of the school council and 'eco-committee'. Pupils enjoy the responsibility of looking after chickens and tending the school gardens, for example. Pupils value the many clubs on offer. Pupils love their school grounds. They enjoy spending time there and learning outside. The pond, orchard and natural areas, where pupils grow fruit and vegetables, are particularly popular. These areas develop pupils' interests as well as providing a calm space for them to relax. Pupils experience lots of exciting opportunities as part of the curriculum. For example, older pupils take part in a programme to learn about going to university. This supports pupils' aspirations and develops key skills that promote success at school and beyond.

What the school should improve

  • In a small number of subjects, at times, teaching does not support pupils to recap and recall previous learning as effectively it does in other subjects. This makes it difficult for some pupils to build on their existing knowledge. The school should ensure that, in these subjects, teaching is designed in a way that reinforces pupils' understanding and knowledge retention.
