What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 12 June 2024
Pupils thrive here. Strong trusting relationships and exceptional pastoral care support pupils to be safe and happy. The 'relationships team' is pivotal to this. It is especially supportive of those families who face additional challenges. The school sets high expectations for all its pupils. They want all pupils to be successful, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). They do all they can to ensure that this happens. Pupils behave well. They respond positively to the expectations made of them. Lessons are rarely disrupted by inappropriate behaviour. Any pupils struggling to comply with expectations are managed effectively and sensitively. Playtimes are lively and there is plenty to do. A range of activities are organised effectively to ensure all pupils can take part. Staff offer timely support to encourage positive play. Pupils have a mature understanding of bullying. They know the forms it can take and the importance of telling an adult. They are confident that should any issues occur, they will be dealt with effectively.
What the school should improve
- In the early years, the activities planned for continuous provision and the quality of adult interactions are variable. This means that opportunities to consolidate children's foundational knowledge are less effective than they could be. The school should address this variability so that all opportunities to extend and consolidate children's important foundational knowledge are taken.
- In some foundation curriculum subjects, the assessment procedures are not well established. This means that the school is not clear about how well pupils are learning the intended curriculum. The school needs to embed an effective assessment system so that it has a more accurate view of what pupils know and can do so that the school can make the necessary curriculum adaptations for pupils to achieve more highly.
