What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 21 November 2023

In this harmonious school, pupils embody the school values of friendship, integrity, respect and effort. This shows in the way they care for each other. One pupil said, 'We need to be kind as we don't always know what someone is going through.' Parents appreciate how well staff know their children. There are high expectations for all pupils to achieve their best, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Trust and school leaders have made rapid improvements to the school's curriculum. This ensures that pupils learn well. Pupils behave well and feel safe in school. Bullying is rare. Pupils are confident that staff will help them resolve any problems. They are keen to earn 'praise points' for their work and actions. Pupils are proud of their work, which is improving in quality. Leadership opportunities encourage pupils to play an active role in school life. For example, Year 5 buddies are partnered with children in Reception. This helps the younger children settle into school quickly. Parents are positive about the impact of this on their children. Trips to places such as Stonehenge and West Kennet Long Barrow help pupils to make sense of their history.

What the school should improve

  • Teachers have not received the guidance they require to deliver the mathematics curriculum effectively. As a result, the implementation of this curriculum is too variable, and some pupils do not gain the knowledge they need to learn the curriculum well. The trust should ensure that teachers receive the guidance they need to teach the curriculum well.
  • The checks teachers make on pupils' learning in some subjects are not precise enough. This means that teachers do not always have the right information to inform their decisions about what pupils need to learn next. The trust needs to ensure that assessment in these subjects is strengthened so that pupils learn and remember the curriculum well.
