What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 October 2023
This is a welcoming and happy school where, overall, pupils achieve well. Pupils enjoy school because their friends are kind and adults help them to learn. Pupils behave well when moving around the school and during social times. They know that if they have a worry adults will take the time to listen and help them. This means they feel safe. Pupils take on positions of responsibility. For example, school councillors and the catering company worked together to make the lunch menu even better. Pupils are proud that their suggestions were valued and taken seriously. Pupils have regular opportunities to learn about and celebrate events from different cultures, such as Sukkot and Harvest. These opportunities help pupils to understand and respect people with different beliefs and customs. The school provides opportunities for pupils to debate and consider the views of others. For example, pupils in Year 6 considered if there was really a winner from World War 2. These experiences help pupils to develop their own ideas and share their opinions. Leaders provide a wide range of clubs, including ultimate frisbee, curling and calm club. These activities help pupils to develop their talents and pursue their interests.
What the school should improve
- On a few occasions, teachers do not check pupils' understanding as sharply as they could. As a result, some pupils have gaps in their learning. The school should check pupils' understanding quickly and ensure that processes are in place to check that pupils remember taught knowledge, skills and vocabulary over time.
