What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 26 November 2024
Pupils are happy and confident at this highly inclusive school. Pupils understand and can talk assuredly about the school's values, such as kindness and respect. Pupils learn about online safety and positive mental health effectively. They enjoy the many sports activities available to them, such as football, netball and gymnastics. The school is rightly proud of its caring approach to helping pupils be ready for their next stage of education. As one pupil said, 'There is a place for everyone here.' Behaviour is positive and respectful throughout the school. Beginning in the early years, children are kind, engaged in their learning and keen to do their best. Older pupils enjoy taking on leadership responsibilities, for example as assembly monitors and school councillors. Pupils benefit from extra opportunities to develop confidence and character, such as gardening in the school allotment. Pupils love to represent their school through competitive events like swimming galas and district sports. School trips and educational visits enrich the curriculum. Staff have high expectations for what pupils can achieve. Staff adapt the curriculum to meet pupils' needs successfully. By the end of key stage 2, pupils achieve well across most areas of the curriculum and are ready for their next stage of education.
What the school should improve
- The teaching of early transcription skills in writing does not have a strong enough impact on some pupils' learning. As a result, some pupils do not build their knowledge effectively and achieve as highly as they could by the end of key stage 2. The school should ensure that strategies to support pupils with their writing are implemented consistently and effectively from the early stages of pupils learning to write.
- A small number of disadvantaged pupils do not attend school as regularly as possible. As a result, they miss essential elements of the curriculum and do not achieve as well as they could. The school should continue to build on its successful strategies to tackle low attendance and ensure that disadvantaged pupils attend school as regularly as their peers.
