What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 February 2024
The school vision of 'inspiring learners, growing together' is fulfilled daily in this nurturing infant school. Despite being very small, the school has big ambitions for pupils. Governors, leaders and staff share high expectations for all, and pupils mostly achieve well. Staff model the school values every day, which are seen in the perseverance, respect and friendship displayed by pupils. Everyone works together to help pupils to meet high expectations with happiness and pride. If pupils need support to manage their emotions, staff use expertise and compassion to guide them. This ensures a calm and positive atmosphere. As a result, pupils feel safe, joyful and confident. Leaders enrich school life with experiences including trips to the theatre, museum and Salcey Forest. Outdoor learning enhances both the academic and personal development of pupils. Links with local sports providers contribute to an impressive sports offer. Pupils love lunchtime basketball club, tennis coaching and regular visits to the local gymnasium. The club offer is impressive, with something for everyone. Pupils glow with excitement when describing memorable visits from an author, the fire service and a local farmer. Pupils were truly inspired by their interactive history day to celebrate learning about the great fire of London.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes, teaching activities do not ensure that all pupils learn key content securely. This means that some pupils do not remember the precise knowledge that leaders intend. The school should help staff to design tasks that are sharply focused on supporting pupils to learn and remember important content successfully over time.
