What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 June 2023
Pupils are happy, confident and courteous. Pupils are kept safe and secure because of the caring community. Leaders know pupils and their families well. Leaders have high ambitions for all pupils to access the curriculum, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils embrace the school's motto of being 'responsible, caring and secure'. Pupils work hard and behave well, meeting the expectations that staff have of them. Pupils learn about decision-making and taking responsibility. For example, the school council and eco-council recently supported a local food fundraising campaign. There are a range of extra activities available for pupils to develop their talents and interests, including rounders, football and mindfulness. The school has undergone recent changes in leadership. The ambitious curriculum, including for reading, is newly introduced. Teachers are still getting to grips with how to teach it most effectively, in some subjects.
What the school should improve
- Across early years, children are not given sufficient opportunity to acquire a wide vocabulary. This limits some children's readiness to access the broad curriculum from Year 1 onwards. Leaders should continue to prioritise the development of communication and language in early years, so that children develop secure foundations for future learning.
- The curriculum in a few subjects, including the programme for phonics, is newly introduced. This means that staff are still getting to grips with how best to teach it. Leaders need to ensure that teachers receive ongoing support in implementing the curriculum. This includes ensuring sufficient opportunity to check pupils' understanding so that they are well supported to learn and remember more.
