What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 January 2023
Pupils enjoy attending this caring and inclusive school. Pupils feel safe and happy. They are in eager anticipation of what they will learn. Pupils rise to teachers' high expectations. They demonstrate respect for themselves, others and the environment. Pupils are accepting. They learn to celebrate differences they may have with others. Pupils are extremely proud that they become proficient users of British Sign Language (BSL). Older pupils recognise that the qualification they obtain in BSL will not only benefit themselves, but others, too. Pupils know what bullying is. They say that some pupils fall out with each other and that teachers resolve this when it happens. Pupils say bullying is very rare. They know teachers will not tolerate bullying. Children in the early years get off to a good start. Staff help children to express their feelings and to consider the feelings of others. This develops them socially and prepares them well for their next stage. Pupils are very well behaved. They commit to their learning. Pupils know the school rules will be consistently applied by all staff. This creates an environment in which pupils can spend every minute learning.
What the school should improve
- Some subject leaders do not effectively monitor the teaching of the curriculum. They do not evaluate how well teachers teach the curriculum. Leaders must ensure that subject leaders have the skills and knowledge they need to monitor the implementation of the curriculum more effectively.
- Some teachers do not check systematically enough that all pupils have remembered the important knowledge as set out in the curriculum. Some pupils are unable to recall this knowledge as well as they should. Leaders should ensure that teachers check that all pupils are able to recall the most important knowledge that is set out in the curriculum.
- Some of the books that younger pupils read are not precisely matched to the phonics they know. As a result, some children do not become fluent readers as quickly as they could. Leaders must ensure that the books pupils read match closely to the phonics that they know.
