What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 28 February 2024
Pupils enjoy learning and are happy at this welcoming school. They are looked after well by caring staff. Pupils are placed at the heart of this school. Relationships are strong, and the school has a family ethos. Pupils behave well. They are polite and courteous. The school is calm and purposeful. Pupils are motivated by the school's reward system, especially when their name is recorded on the 'high recognition board'. Many pupils have posts of responsibility, such as those of eco-committee members, junior road safety group member, digital leaders and school council representatives. Pupils are rightly proud to belong to their school. Pupils are safe in this school. The school environment is secure. Pupils are confident that there is always an adult to help them should they have any concerns. The school has high expectations for what pupils can achieve. Pupils, including children in early years, are curious and stimulated by interesting curriculum activities. Pupils are keen to learn. Pupils share their learning across the curriculum with parents and carers on the well-supported 'parent share' days. Most pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), learn well.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, the knowledge that pupils should learn and when they should learn it have not been precisely identified. This means that in these subjects, teachers do not make sure that pupils' new learning builds on what they already know. Pupils do not learn well enough in these subjects. The school should ensure that in all subjects, the important knowledge that pupils should learn and the order in which it is taught are clearly set out, so that pupils learn consistently well across the curriculum.
