What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 26 September 2023
Pupils flourish at this warm and friendly school. They live out the school's vision of 'Discovering a world of possibilities together', in their enthusiasm for all aspects of school life. Pupils behave beautifully around the school and play happily on the playground. They come here to learn and to have fun. Staff have consistently high expectations of all pupils and pupils meet these. They thrive on praise. They are proud to receive house points for their achievements. Pupils love to hear how well their house has fared at the weekly celebration assemblies. Year 6 head prefects and house captains lead these. Pupils concentrate very well in lessons. They listen to the adults and follow their instructions promptly. This includes the youngest children. In the Reception class, children know the routines. They are keen to please and eager to learn. The positive attitudes children learn in the early years stay with them as they move through the school. There are many opportunities for pupils to develop outside of the classroom. These include singing at the Royal Albert Hall, dancing at Chelmsford's Civic Theatre and putting on a Christmas show in Chelmsford Cathedral.
What the school should improve
- The school's system for checking pupils' understanding at the end of a unit of work in the foundation subjects is new. There has not yet been sufficient time for the impact of this system to be seen. This means that, the school does not have a strong enough picture of how well the curriculum is working. The school should ensure this system is well understood and fully implemented by teachers. This will give the school the information needed to improve the curriculum and address any gaps in pupils' learning.
