What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 9 July 2024

Pupils are made to feel welcome at this school, which prides itself on supporting families and the wider community well. Being resilient forms an important part of the school's values. Caring and supportive staff provide opportunities that build pupils' confidence, independence and resilience. Pupils trust that staff will help them if they have any worries or concerns. This helps pupils to feel happy at school. The school is ambitious for pupils, including for those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Many pupils join the school part way through their primary education. A number of pupils are also at the early stages of learning to speak English as an additional language. These pupils receive consistent support from staff to build up their knowledge and spoken English. Pupils make the most of the opportunities that the school provides for them. They behave well in lessons, work hard and achieve well. Pupils delight in the trips that they get to take part in. These include visits to farms, museums and residential camps. Pupils also value the opportunities to develop their talents and interests. These include performing a talent show for parents and carers, through to attending a wide range of clubs, such as cookery and science.

What the school should improve

  • In one or two subjects, some of the learning activities that a small number of teachers design do not build successfully on what pupils already know. As a result, some pupils do not deepen their understanding as well as they could. The school should ensure that teachers are supported to design activities that help pupils to connect learning and build up a deep body of knowledge.
  • In one or two subjects, some teachers do not check how well pupils have remembered and understood what they have been previously taught. Some pupils have unidentified gaps in their knowledge that hinder their ability to make sense of new learning. The school should ensure that teachers are well equipped to check that pupils' knowledge is secure before introducing new topics and concepts.
