What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 26 March 2024
Pupils thrive at this vibrant and nurturing school, which is a haven for them. They know that there are always trusted adults who care for them and will help them if they have any concerns. This helps pupils to feel happy and to have a strong sense of belonging. The school has high expectations for pupils' achievement. Pupils are eager to meet these aspirations. They relish receiving awards for their efforts, such as 'marble' prizes, stickers and 'champions of the week'. Pupils typically achieve well. This includes disadvantaged pupils and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils behave well during lessons and across the school. They aim to follow the school's motto to be 'ready, respectful, safe'. Pupils benefit from calm, purposeful learning environments. They know that people have many differences and they value the diversity in their school. Pupils spoke proudly of their roles as 'young translators', in which they help anyone in school who speaks English as an additional language. The school provides pupils with a broad variety of experiences. For example, pupils enjoy clubs in sports, books, art and design, science and history. Visits and residential trips, including to the theatre, museums and art galleries, further enrich their learning.
What the school should improve
- At times, some staff do not implement learning activities consistently well to enable pupils to practise and apply their knowledge. This means that some pupils, from time to time, do not learn as well as they could. The school should support staff in choosing and adapting learning activities to help pupils to know and remember more of the intended curriculum.
- Occasionally, support for some pupils who are behind in their reading is not as effective as it should be. This slows these pupils' progress in becoming fluent and accurate readers. The school should ensure that staff use effective early reading strategies consistently well.
