What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 December 2024
Pupils thrive at this nurturing and inclusive school. The school's motto, 'every child matters in every way', reflects its commitment to ensuring pupils are supported and valued. Leaders have high expectations for pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils typically achieve well. Leaders have established strong relationships with families. Parents and carers are overwhelmingly positive about the school. One parent shared, 'My child is very happy, and staff are very welcoming.' This echoed the views of many. From the time children enter the Nursery, they are taught the importance of being kind. They are polite and follow simple rules. This continues throughout the school. Older pupils show consideration towards each other, contributing to a calm and harmonious environment. Leaders provide many opportunities for pupils' personal development. For instance, pupils engage in the arts. Activities such as drama and dance enable them to develop their creative talents. Pupils enjoy singing as part of the school choir and recently performed at Alexandra Palace. Children in early years are confident and eager to try new activities. This is encouraged by staff who promote their independence, resilience and curiosity. As a result, pupils are well prepared for their next stage of education.
What the school should improve
- Aspects of the early reading and writing curriculum are not implemented with consistent precision. In these instances, some younger pupils do not secure the important foundational knowledge they need to tackle more complex learning. The school should ensure that the implementation of the intended curriculum is sharpened so pupils are consistently supported to achieve well.
- Some subjects are at an earlier stage of design. In these areas, the tasks and activities pupils are asked to complete are sometimes not sufficiently ambitious. As a result, pupils do not consistently develop the depth of knowledge they need. The school should fully implement its plans to ensure that the content of the curriculum is consistently ambitious so pupils are wholly supported to focus on their learning and develop the knowledge they need.
