What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 5 April 2022
Pupils are happy, polite and well behaved. They follow the school's values. Pupils treat each other and adults with respect. They celebrate difference. Pupils say that it is important to 'be who you want to be'. Staff ensure that pupils know the difference between bullying and falling out. Pupils say that if another pupil were to be unkind, staff would help them sort it out. Pupils feel safe in school. Leaders and staff have high expectations for pupils' learning. Pupils are enthusiastic about their learning and take pride in their work. Many pupils join the school during the academic year. When pupils leave school due to their family's military deployment or at the end of Year 6, they are prepared well for the next stage of their education. Many parents and carers say that the staff are supportive. Pupils value the wider opportunities that are on offer to them. For example, on a recent educational visit to Dartmoor, Year 3 pupils learned important knowledge about life in the Bronze Age. Staff and pupils say that school visits help to bring their classroom learning to life. Pupils are proud to represent their school as school and eco councillors.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, teachers do not use assessment information to adapt the curriculum sufficiently well. This makes it difficult for pupils to build on their prior knowledge and learn all the essential subject content. Leaders need to support teachers to adapt the curriculum effectively to ensure that pupils know and remember all the essential concepts set out in the school's curriculum.
