What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 18 October 2023
Pupils are happy in this small and friendly school. They value the nurturing environment provided by the staff. Pupils' positive attitudes towards school are reflected in their sensible conduct in lessons and during breaktimes. Pupils of all ages spend time together in their 'family groups' at lunchtime. Older pupils serve lunch to their 'family'. This helps pupils to learn to look after each other. They make sure that everybody is included. For example, pupils on the school council wanted everyone to be able to play on the grass in all weather. They worked with the school to provide a 'welly wall' where pupils can borrow wellies if they need them. This helps pupils to feel part of a caring community. Pupils of all ages value learning outdoors. They spend time in the school's forest area where they learn a range of skills, such as shelter building and how to work together in a team. Parents and carers consider these opportunities to be part of what makes the school special. The school wants all pupils to be successful. In the recent past, the curriculum has been strengthened across all subject areas. The school provides a high-quality curriculum. Typically, pupils achieve well.
What the school should improve
- Occasionally, staff do not use effective strategies to support pupils who struggle to learn to read. This means that some pupils do not develop their phonics knowledge as quickly as they should. The school should ensure that staff are well trained to support pupils to develop into accurate and confident readers.
- At times, some staff do not successfully adapt their delivery of the curriculum for pupils with SEND. This means that some pupils with SEND do not learn the curriculum as well as they could. The school should ensure that staff are fully equipped to support these pupils to learn well.
