What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 May 2022
Pupils enjoy school. They work hard in lessons. Pupils understand and apply the school rules of 'be ready, be safe, be kind'. This ensures that pupils are polite and show respect to their peers. Pupils and staff build positive relationships with each other. Over time, pupils gain a strong sense of belonging. They welcome the 'family feel' of the school. Pupils particularly like the large school grounds in which to play and learn. Pupils study a full range of subjects. Expectations of what pupils will learn have increased markedly over time. Pupils are well prepared for secondary school. The curriculum enhances pupils' experiences and broadens their horizons. They learn about big ideas, such as increasing biodiversity in the locality. A highlight for many pupils is the 'raise the roof singing festival', or attending sports festivals with other schools. There is a range of extra-curricular clubs on offer, such as for science and art. Pupils take pride in their leadership responsibilities. For example, Year 6 reading buddies value the opportunities they have to listen to younger pupils read. Pupils say that bullying happens rarely. They are confident that when pupils fall out with others, staff and the anti-bullying ambassadors sort it out quickly.
What the school should improve
- At times, teaching is not adapted astutely to prioritise the most important knowledge pupils need to know next. This hampers pupils' progress through the curriculum because sequences of learning miss out important knowledge. Leaders must ensure that all staff use assessment precisely to ensure that sequences of work build firmly on what pupils already know.
- Leaders' checks to assure themselves of curriculum quality are not sufficiently rigorous. There are some inconsistencies in the implementation of the curriculum. This means that a minority of pupils do not gain the depth of knowledge they could. Leaders must ensure that their checks identify any relative weaknesses in curriculum quality, and then act on these swiftly.
