What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 December 2024
Pupils love coming to this school. They feel safe and cared about. Pupils behave well. Strong, respectful relationships exist between all members of the school community. In Reception, children learn important social skills that enable them to collaborate effectively in group activities. Furthermore, when taking part in discussions, older pupils listen well to each other, taking time to hear what their peers have to say. At breaktimes, pupils benefit from an extensive range of outdoor activities. These help to make play times fun and keep everyone busy. Pupils learn to socialise with children of different ages, to problem solve and to keep physically active. The school is ambitious for all pupils to achieve well. Pupils are keen to learn and enjoy the wide variety of opportunities available to them. They relish talking about the many interesting topics they explore, explaining their ideas with clarity. Generally, pupils learn well, developing detailed knowledge, and confidence in a range of skills. Beyond academic learning, pupils learn important life skills, such as how to take different forms of public transport. They also enjoy a wide range of physical pursuits, including canoeing, swimming and riding bikes.
What the school should improve
- Teachers' pedagogical knowledge is not consistently strong. On occasion, the tasks that pupils complete do not enable them to learn as well as they could. The school should ensure that the work given to pupils enables them to learn the intended curriculum securely and achieve well.
- Ongoing checks to make sure that all pupils have secured the knowledge and skills they are learning are not done consistently well. This means that sometimes pupils' gaps in understanding are not addressed before new concepts are introduced. The school should improve how well teachers check pupils' understanding and address misconceptions before they move pupils on to new learning.
