What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 April 2023
This is an inclusive school, where pupils feel they truly belong. Pupils are happy. They trust adults to support them if they have any concerns or worries. Leaders know their pupils well. They ensure that pupils' needs are identified and met at the earliest opportunity. This helps all pupils to achieve well. Leaders aspire for every pupil to 'grow in love'. Pupils are kind to each other and are respectful towards adults. Their positive behaviour results in a calm and orderly environment in classrooms and around the school. Bullying is very rare and, if it does happen, staff resolve it quickly. Pupils feel safe at school. Several pupils, often from abroad, join the school at different points in the year. These pupils receive a warm welcome from the school community, and they settle in quickly. They contribute to the diverse community, which is celebrated by all. Parents appreciate that leaders and staff take every step possible to know pupils well. One parent's comment echoed those of many: 'The school sees each and every child as an individual. The fantastic sense of community within the school is amazing.' Pupils are developed as leaders in this school. They get to experience democracy first hand as they elect their school council representatives. Pupils also lead and run an eco- team, which looks at how they can care for their environment.
What the school should improve
- Occasionally, teachers do not consider the amount of information pupils can process and retain in one go. This reduces how well pupils are supported to know and remember more. Leaders should support teachers to reduce unnecessary information, so that essential subject content is understood and retained by pupils.
- In a few instances, the books that teachers give to some pupils are too hard to support pupils to develop their reading fluency. In these cases, pupils are less able to practise decoding words speedily. Leaders need to make sure that teachers give these pupils books that are suitable for helping pupils to build up their reading fluency and confidence.
