What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 30 April 2024
Pupils are happy and safe at this welcoming school. It is a positive and ambitious place to learn. Pupils achieve well. This begins in the early years, where they get off to a strong start. Children immerse themselves in learning when they begin school. They show curiosity and independence in exploring the range of activities provided. Pupils' behaviour and their attitudes to learning are excellent. Pupils concentrate in lessons. They are proud of the respectful relationships they have towards each other. As one pupil explained, 'We are respectful of difference. We have all different people here and we respect each other.' Pupils look after each other's well-being. They ensure that everyone has a friend in the playground. They are a united and extended family. The school's ambition for all pupils to achieve their very best shines out of this school in every direction. The school itself is a vast canvas of high-quality displays that showcase creative and academic achievements. This includes the achievements of pupils in their lessons. These displays reflect what pupils say about their enjoyment of learning in a range of subjects. Pupils enjoy the time they spend at school and they love to learn.
What the school should improve
- The school has not yet ensured that all pupils attend well. This means that too many pupils miss out on the good quality of education that the school provides. The school should ensure that those pupils who require it receive the necessary support to help them attend regularly.
- The school has not yet ensured that the curriculum in some foundation subjects is taught well enough so that pupils learn and remember more over time. Sometimes pupils do not have enough opportunity to go back over knowledge that they must know. This means important knowledge is not secured for pupils in some foundation subjects. The school should ensure that all staff are supported to teach the curriculum consistently in such a way that pupils learn and remember more.
