What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 24 September 2024
Pupils at this school feel safe, loved and valued. They are proud of their diverse, vibrant school and are happy. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), appreciate the strong relationships that they form with staff. The school has high expectations of what pupils can and should achieve. Pupils are attentive in lessons and work hard. Pupils spoke confidently to inspectors about what they had been learning. Their books display high-quality work. When they join the school, many pupils are at the early stages of learning to speak English as an additional language. These pupils receive effective support to develop their vocabulary and spoken English successfully. Pupils, including children in the early years, are friendly and polite. There is a warm, purposeful atmosphere in school and disruption to pupils' learning is rare. Pupils benefit from a wide range of carefully designed experiences that go beyond the academic curriculum. For example, they spoke enthusiastically about their trips to the zoo and to the beach. They enjoy caring for the school chickens and the dog, Dexter. They can also attend clubs such as musical theatre, debating and football. These experiences help to develop pupils' talents and interests well.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the school is still developing its assessment strategies. Staff do not check thoroughly that pupils learn the curriculum accurately and are on track to meet national expectations. Consequently, some pupils develop gaps in their learning which are not identified and addressed as quickly and effectively as they should be. The school should ensure that assessment strategies are closely aligned to the curriculum so that teachers address gaps and help pupils remain on track.
- The school does not provide sufficient opportunities for a small number of pupils who find it more difficult to read and practise their phonics knowledge. On occasion, some of these pupils do not develop fluency in reading as quickly as they could. The school should provide regular opportunities for these pupils to practise their phonics knowledge so that they can become fluent and confident readers.
