What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 March 2023
Leaders have high ambition for pupils. They want pupils to know their rights and to speak up on issues that are important to them. Leaders provide many opportunities for pupils to share their views. This includes through the school council and rights- respecting committee. Leaders provide opportunities for pupils to support others and the local community. Recently, for example, pupils on the school's rights-respecting committee spoke to leaders in other schools about their work. The school recently received an award from an internationally recognised charity for their work. Older pupils enjoy taking on leadership responsibilities. Many said this is because they can be role models for younger pupils. It is common to see pupils in Year 6 and children in the early years sitting together and enjoying a story book. Pupils behave exceptionally well. They treat each other with respect and care. Leaders foster positive working relationships with pupils. Many pupils commented how much teachers care about pupils here. Leaders provide a variety of ways for pupils to share any concerns that may arise, including about bullying. Leaders deal with any incidents of bullying effectively. Pupils are taught about different types of bullying and why it is wrong. They are safe in school.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes, subject leaders do not make clear what knowledge children in the early years need to know so that they build up key knowledge and skills and are prepared for the curriculum in Year 1 and beyond. As a result, children are taught things that do not align with the Year 1 curriculum. Subject leaders should make sure the curriculum for each subject builds securely on what children learn in the early years.
- Sometimes, teachers do not follow the school curriculum consistently enough or make robust checks on pupils' knowledge. As result, pupils have some gaps in their knowledge. Leaders need to check that the school curriculum is implemented consistently and provide training and support for teaching staff where necessary.
