What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 15 October 2024
The school's values of 'friendship, forgiveness, trusting and community' permeate throughout. The school sits at the heart of the local community and is highly valued by parents and carers. Pupils and staff are right to be very proud of their school. Parents and carers are overwhelmingly supportive of the school. The school has high expectations for pupils' achievements. Pupils work hard to meet these expectations and most achieve well in reading, writing and mathematics. The school sets very high expectations for pupils' behaviour. Pupils consistently follow 'ready, respectful, safe' rules and routines with precision. They are incredibly polite and well mannered. Older pupils enjoy the responsibility of helping to look after younger pupils at playtimes. Pupils state that behaviour is 'good'. Pupils assert that this is a school where they are happy and feel safe. Pupils take part in a range of inclusive extra-curricular activities such as choir, football, gardening and yoga. The school's choir is active in the local community, for example singing at Oulton Abbey and Stone's Christmas lights switch-on event. Pupils enjoy regular visits to a nearby scout camp to take part in outdoor woodland learning.
What the school should improve
- The school does not know how effectively the curriculum is implemented for some subjects. Therefore, they are unclear about how well pupils achieve in these subjects and what needs to improve. The school should ensure that it checks how effectively the curriculum is implemented and how well pupils achieve across the whole curriculum in order to make any necessary improvements.
