What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 June 2024
This is a caring school at the heart of the community. Parents and carers value the quality of education the school provides. Parents enjoy the opportunity to attend school 'showcase events' and to share in their children's learning and achievements. The school nurtures positive relationships with its families. As one parent, typical of the views of many, commented, 'We are kept up to date and the school always has time to listen to you.' The school is ambitious for all pupils. Pupils enjoy learning and achieve well. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), who are supported well. Children in the early years also make a positive start to their learning at school. Pupils are nurtured to show kindness towards each other. The positive ethos and high expectations the school has ensures that behavioural guidance is understood and lived. Pupils play happily together at social times. Pupils enjoy being leaders in school, including, for example, as school councillors or reading ambassadors. School councillors value sharing their views about school life with leaders. Reading ambassadors are proud to share book recommendations in assembly. They motivate their friends well to choose new books to read. Pupils flourish in these roles.
What the school should improve
- While many pupils attend school regularly, there are too many that do not. These who are absent too often do not benefit fully from the school's good educational provision. The school should ensure that those pupils who require it receive the necessary support to help improve their attendance, thus enabling them to benefit from learning every day.
- The school has not fully refined its approach to monitoring and evaluating improvement priorities. The school is not always as clear as it could be about the positive impact that some of its improvement strategies have had. The school should ensure that its approach to evaluating the actions taken to bring about improvement provides the necessary information that enables the school to identify successes and to inform the next steps.
