What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 10 October 2023

Pupils are warmly welcomed by leaders into the positive environment of this school. They explained that staff help to keep them safe. The school ensures that any instances of bullying or name-calling are dealt with swiftly and effectively. Pupils feel listened to by adults and know that if they have any worries or concerns, they are dealt with quickly. The school makes use of outside specialists to help support pupils with their emotional health. These actions help pupils to feel happy in school. Pupils achieve well. They understand the high expectations that the school has of their achievement. Pupils meet these expectations, by working hard in lessons. They conduct themselves politely and calmly across school. They are respectful to their friends and towards staff. The school encourages pupils to behave well through a system of regular praise and reward. Pupils take full advantage of the school's large and well-resourced outdoor environment. For example, they use the exercise machines with enthusiasm and spoke to the inspectors about the importance of keeping fit and healthy. Pupils appreciate the range of extra-curricular clubs that they can access. They talked about how much they look forward to residential trips.

What the school should improve

  • A small number of staff do not deliver the phonics programme as effectively as they should. The school should further support staff so that they deliver the programme consistently well.
  • Some pupils do not attend school regularly enough, while others do not arrive on time at the start of the school day. This limits how well they learn. The school should continue to work with these pupils and families to improve their attendance and punctuality. This will enable these pupils to benefit from the good quality of education that the school provides.
  • Communication channels with parents are not clear. This leads to some parents reporting that leaders do not keep them informed about their children's education and school life. The school should ensure that it works closely with parents to improve communication.
