What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 May 2023
Pupils are proud to be part of this welcoming school community. They greet their teachers cheerfully as they arrive each morning. They enjoy coming to school because they know that staff take good care of them. This helps them to learn well and feel safe. Leaders encourage pupils, and children in the early years, to strive to be their 'best selves'. Pupils rise to these high expectations by behaving well and trying their hardest in class. They are delighted when they receive 'Bee Attitudes' rewards for their positive behaviour. They celebrate their classmates' successes with pride. Pupils have learned the importance of respecting everyone. They know that their learning about tolerance and diversity helps them to treat each other with kindness and care. If bullying and name-calling should happen, leaders act swiftly to put a stop to them. Pupils spoke with enthusiasm about the many ways in which leaders enrich their learning. For example, they were excited to have a video call with the author of a book they had recently enjoyed. They represent their school proudly in poetry competitions and musical performances at the town hall.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, leaders have not fully defined the most important knowledge that they want pupils to know and remember. This means that, in these subjects, teachers are not sufficiently clear about what they should be teaching. This hinders pupils' learning. Leaders should ensure that they are precise about what they want pupils to know, and in what order teachers should deliver this learning, so that pupils develop a deep and interconnected knowledge of these subjects.
- In some subjects, including in the early years, teachers do not have a thorough enough understanding of how well pupils are learning the curriculum. Some pupils develop gaps in their knowledge that teachers are unaware of. Leaders should roll out their plans to ensure that assessment strategies are well matched to the knowledge in the curriculum so that teachers can accurately identify any learning that pupils have missed.
