What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 9 July 2024
This is a friendly and welcoming place to learn. Pupils follow the school's rules of being safe, ready and respectful. They know that there is an unspoken rule of kindness and treating others with care and respect, which they follow. From the early years, pupils learn a well-rounded curriculum that enables them to practise key skills and build on what they know. As a result, pupils achieve well. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) achieve in line with their peers. The school is an exciting place to be, and because of this attendance is high. Pupils enjoy the fun and interesting activities that staff plan for them. This includes trips to the local area so that pupils are proud of their community's history. The strong relationships between staff and pupils mean that pupils feel confident to share their worries and concerns. This helps pupils to feel safe in school. The wide range of enrichment opportunities allow pupils to learn how to care for and respect their local area. For example, children in Reception pick up litter to care for the environment. Pupils learn about other cultures and religions and how they feature in their community.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the curriculum does not set out clearly the key knowledge that pupils will learn. This means that the curriculum in these subjects is not always taught as consistently or effectively as leaders expect. Consequently, pupils develop gaps in their knowledge and do not always have the necessary information needed to access more complex learning. The school needs to set out precisely the key knowledge pupils will need from early years in all subjects and ensure that the curriculum is taught consistently to enable pupils to make strong progress across the full range of subjects.
