What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 15 October 2024

This is a happy and positive learning community for pupils. Pupils enjoy being at school, attend well and make positive progress through the curriculum. The school experience delivers on its core values; pupils are 'respectful, resilient, resourceful'. Leaders have high expectations for pupils in all areas of learning, starting in the early years. Pupils work hard and want to do well. They behave sensibly, are polite and show positive attitudes towards their learning. Pupils understand their responsibility to behave with kindness and respect. Bullying is not tolerated. On the rare occasions when bullying does happen, staff deal with it quickly. Pupils are kept safe and feel safe in school. All subjects make a contribution to pupils' personal development. This is as a result of planned activities to enrich their experience of learning. For example, the school organises visits and trips that are part of the core offer for each year group. Pupils have many opportunities to make a positive contribution to their school community. Pupils are successfully prepared for their next steps at secondary school. By the end of Year 6, they have a well-developed body of knowledge in a range of areas, especially reading, writing and mathematics.

What the school should improve

  • Some checks on pupils' learning in the foundation subjects are not helping the school to promote pupils' knowledge as well as they could. This means that gaps in pupils' knowledge sometimes go unaddressed. The school should ensure that there are more regular opportunities to check pupils' understanding of the curriculum and then adapt teaching if required.
  • The content of some subjects is currently being reviewed to better support staff knowledge so that standards in the foundation subjects match the very strong standards evident in English and mathematics. Although this work is already making a difference, leaders' aims for pupils' achievement in the foundation subjects are not fully realised. The school should continue to extend staff expertise, through planned professional development activities, in order to realise leaders' ambition for the wider curriculum.
