What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 July 2023
Pupils are proud to attend this inclusive and welcoming school. They are polite and courteous. Pupils understand how the school's values help them to be kind, respectful and to work hard. Parents and carers speak highly of the school's family feel, the care that staff show towards pupils and the support the school offers to military families. Staff have high expectations for pupils' behaviour. Pupils understand the school rules and respond well to the routines that are in place, both in and outside the classroom. This starts in the early years. Children listen to instructions, play well and respect one another. There is a calm and purposeful environment in classrooms and around the school. Pupils feel safe. They value the positive relationships they have with staff. Pupils trust staff to listen to them and help them with any worries or concerns they may have. Pupils enjoy the wide range of visits and clubs on offer to them, such as netball, football, and choir. They value the opportunities they have to become members of the worship council, eco committee and school council. Pupils say these roles make them feel important and allow them to make a difference to their school.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, assessment is not yet used well enough to check that pupils have remembered the knowledge they have been taught and to decide next steps in learning. As a result, some pupils do not build their knowledge well enough over time. Leaders need to ensure that teachers use assessment effectively across all subjects and use this information to inform the planning of future learning.
- Subject leadership is not yet fully developed. As a result, leaders do not have a well-informed view of their subjects or know what impact the intended curriculum is having. Senior leaders must develop subject leaders' expertise to ensure that subject leaders have precise information about how effectively the curriculum is taught and how well pupils learn.
