What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 February 2024
This is a school where everyone is valued for who they are. Pupils are proud of this. Staff support them to celebrate what makes them unique and talk about why they are special. Pupils are confident that staff help them if they are unsure or worried about anything. This demonstrates the school's kind and caring ethos. Interactions between pupils and staff are warm and friendly. On the playground, pupils play together happily. They understand the school rules and follow these keenly. Pupils talk positively about the behaviour in their school. They understand that adults and the school's systems keep them safe. They know that adults are there to help them. The routines of school life begin in nursery where children bound into school enthusiastically. Adults greet them with warmth. This helps children to be ready for the day ahead. The curriculum supports pupils to recall what they have learned and build upon this during lessons. Consequently, pupils achieve well. They are keen to talk about what they have learned in a variety of subjects, for example, why a camel would not be able to live in a cold climate and how to create stable structures using paper.
What the school should improve
- There is minor variability in the effectiveness of reading sessions for pupils who are learning to read. These do not always allow them to develop their phonics knowledge well enough. This means that some pupils do not learn to read as quickly as they could. The school should ensure that reading sessions provide weaker readers with the precise support they need to catch up quickly with their peers.
