What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 5 December 2023

Pupils are very proud of their school and they are happy to come here. They bring the school values to life daily. For example, Year 6 pupils recently enjoyed leading a session with families and their peers on generosity. Pupils respect one another and they are kind to each other. Pupils are kept safe in school. If they have any worries, there is an adult to whom they can speak. Pupils said that staff are kind and caring. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. From the start of early years, children learn clear routines and these are embedded quickly. The school has high expectations of pupils' behaviour and pupils live up to these. They move around the school calmly and quietly with little staff intervention. Learning in lessons is very rarely disrupted. Breaktimes are calm and friendly. Pupils in Year 5 act as play leaders to encourage all pupils to join in. The school is ambitious for its pupils and expects them to do well. There is a broad and balanced curriculum for all pupils, which enables them to learn effectively. Leaders review curriculum subjects regularly, and they make changes to reflect pupils' needs and their interests. For example, core reading texts have been reviewed to better reflect the diversity of the school community. Similarly, Year 6 pupils have led on the work to review the names of the school houses.

What the school should improve

  • Approaches to ensuring that some pupils with SEND receive the support that they require with their learning are, in some instances, not as strong as they could be in Years 1 to 6. For pupils with more complex needs, sometimes, expectations and aims for pupils' learning could be broken down further, enabling teachers to best support pupils' progression towards their intended end goals. The school should continue to strengthen strategies that support pupils with SEND to achieve the goals identified for them.
