What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 February 2023
This is a school where everyone feels safe and can be themselves. Pupils are kind to each other. One pupil explained that at this school 'the foundation is based on respect'. Pupils know that staff care for them. They trust the adults to look after them when things go wrong. Pupils are positive about their learning. They take pride in their work. They value the help they get from staff to catch up if they need it. Pupils' personal development is a high priority here. Pupils learn the importance of working together. They love to help and contribute to the school community as peer mediators or on the school council. Pupils can choose from a wide range of clubs and activities. Zumba, archery, gardening and vocal group are all on offer. The school has high expectations of all pupils' work and conduct. Pupils behave well most of the time. They play happily in the playground. They enjoy using the equipment and playing games with support from the Year 6 mini leaders. Pupils said they do not worry about bullying because it hardly ever happens. When it does, staff deal with it quickly and it stops.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes staff do not give clear explanations when supporting pupils with phonics learning. When this is the case, pupils do not catch up as quickly as they could. Leaders must ensure that all staff get support to develop their phonics expertise so that pupils improve their phonic knowledge quickly.
