What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 December 2024
Pupils are happy at this school. They are well cared for, and staff do their best to ensure they learn well. Pupils are well supported to study an ambitious curriculum. Many exciting activities, including special visitors and events, enrich their experience of school. Pupils live up to the school values and 'REACH for the stars.' First and foremost, pupils are incredibly respectful. They celebrate their individual uniqueness and vast variety of cultures. They behave very well and show great enthusiasm for learning. Pupils take pride in their work and showing off their growing knowledge in creative ways. Pupils talk about being 'one big happy family'. Parents and carers typically feel included. They come into school for yoga, playgroup, and English classes, for example. One parent, typical of many, commented: 'The whole school goes above and beyond for the families as well as the children.' The school recently achieved an award for tremendous work in helping parents actively participate in their child's education. Although the school community speaks many languages, communication is very strong. The school encourages all pupils to be aspirational. The school works hard to overcome barriers so that pupils are well prepared for junior school.
What the school should improve
- What the school wants pupils to learn is sometimes not precise enough. As a result, teaching presents pupils with too much information for them to understand at once. Pupils do not gain a secure understanding of what they are being taught. The school should ensure that precisely what pupils need to learn and remember is made clear.
- Sometimes, teaching does not provide pupils with enough opportunities to practise what they are learning. This makes it hard for pupils to remember what has been taught and limits the depth of their learning. The school should ensure that teaching provides pupils with sufficient opportunities to practise with new knowledge so they can remember well what has been taught.
