What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 April 2023
The school's vision of 'Learning Together for Life' is central to pupils and staff alike. Pupils are caring and support each other considerately. Staff know pupils well. Many pupils said that 'everyone looks after each other'. Leaders and staff are ambitious for every pupil to achieve well and develop pride in the local community. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Staff have high expectations for behaviour and learning. Leaders have developed a curriculum to include learning about the local area. For instance, pupils in Year 4 recently enjoyed reading about the history of Sedgefield in 'The Magic Mobile' by local author Norma Neal. Pupils appreciate the many opportunities to help each other by becoming buddies, peer mentors and members of the school council. Pupils know to write their worries on slips of paper. Peer mentors help pupils with 'minor' worries. Pupils say that bullying is rare. If it happens adults are quick to sort it out. This helps pupils to feel safe. Pupils know they are expected to behave well in and out of lessons. Older pupils understand the importance of setting an example for younger children to follow. They enjoy receiving praise from staff and earning 'green cards' for showing acts of kindness.
What the school should improve
- Pupils do not have enough opportunities to problem solve in mathematics. As a result, they do not practise or develop their reasoning skills often or well enough. Leaders should ensure that pupils are provided with regular opportunities to problem solve in mathematics.
- Curriculum plans for the early years could be improved further to identify learning connections from pre-school to Year 1 in foundation subjects. Leaders should continue with their plans to develop and embed the planned sequence of learning and identify the vocabulary children must acquire from pre-school to Year 1.
