What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 28 September 2022
Pupils talk very positively about the school. They are happy and feel safe. One pupil reflected the views of many in saying, 'The staff are always there for us.' Parents value the school and the improvements that leaders have made. Parents feel that any worries they have are quickly dealt with by staff. Pupils' behaviour and attitudes are good. They come to school regularly and on time, ready to learn and do their best. Pupils say there is very little bullying. Pupils enjoy their lessons and the subjects that they are taught. They enjoy sports activities and playtimes. Pupils begin to learn to read as soon as they start school. They develop a love of reading and regularly bring their reading books into school. This means they get plenty of reading practice, both at school and at home. Staff set high expectations for pupils' behaviour. As a result, classrooms are calm and orderly. Most pupils are keen to do their best and concentrate on their work. Pupils who attend breakfast club enjoy eating bagels with their friends and value the good start it provides to their day.
What the school should improve
- There is some inconsistency in how well staff teach the new phonics scheme. This means some pupils do not progress as well as they should. Leaders should ensure that relevant staff receive necessary support to teach phonics well. This will enable all pupils to make better progress in their reading.
- Teachers do not adapt the curriculum for pupils with SEND consistently well. This means that some pupils with SEND find it difficult to complete the tasks that teachers set for them. Leaders need to work with teachers to help them to better meet the needs of all pupils with SEND. This will help these pupils to learn more of the curriculum over time.
- Some aspects of the wider curriculum are less developed than others. This can lead to variance in the knowledge and skills that pupils acquire. Leaders should continue to support staff in the development and teaching of the wider curriculum. This well help pupils to acquire deeper knowledge and skills across all the subjects they study.
