What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 December 2024
Pupils are happy and enjoy learning here. The school's values guide pupils to act responsibly and to work together. Parents and carers said that the school keeps them informed of their children's progress regularly and that the staff are helpful and welcoming. The school teaches pupils to be honest and to respect each other. In class, pupils work sensibly and calmly. Leaders have high expectations of pupils. They ensure that pupils gain the knowledge and skills that they need for their next educational stage. While leaders' expectations of pupils' attendance are high, some pupils are persistently absent from school. Pupils have access to many clubs, which they enjoy attending. These include multi-sports, boys' and girls' football, embroidery club and choir. Pupils also attend educational visits, which broaden their understanding of subjects. Year 6 visit historic places, including the Tower of London, to learn about English history. Pupils travel to central London to find and see key national landmarks. The school ensures that all pupils attend these outings, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils also raise money for national charities, write to pen pals in France and learn to ride a bike.
What the school should improve
- Absence and persistent absence rates remain high for some pupils. This means that they miss key learning over time. The school should ensure that its policies and procedures are implemented rigorously and effectively in order to improve attendance rates.
- In a small number of subjects, teachers' subject knowledge is less secure. In these subjects, pupils do not learn and remember as much as they could and the quality of pupils' work is less high. Leaders should continue to develop teachers' subject knowledge and confidence in these subjects, so that pupils build their curriculum knowledge as effectively as possible.
