What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 June 2024
This is a school where everyone is made to feel welcome. Pupils respect and appreciate the staff who care for them. In the early years, staff support children to settle quickly into school life. This high level of care continues as pupils progress through the school. Pupils feel safe in school. Parents said that they like the 'family feel' which is offered. They appreciate how well adults know their children. The school is ambitious for all pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), to achieve highly. Leaders, including governors, have worked with determination and speed to improve the school. Pupils enjoy the new curriculum. Pupils' knowledge is improving because the changes to the curriculum are helping pupils to remember more. Pupils behave well in school. They learn how to understand and manage their emotions. Pupils learn to empathise with others. This contributes to the calm environment in school. Pupils enjoy the range of activities on offer during playtime. They take part together in games with skipping ropes, hula hoops and balls. Pupils look after each other when they have difficulty. For example, they help each other to zip up their coats at playtimes.
What the school should improve
- Assessment is not fully developed in all foundation subjects. Staff do not consistently check pupils' knowledge to find out what pupils know before introducing new content. The school needs to ensure that assessment is used well across all subjects so that pupils deepen their knowledge across the full curriculum.
- The school has not checked the impact of the new subject curriculums well enough. This means that leaders do not know the strengths and areas for further development. The school should continue to support subject leaders so that they can monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the curriculum.
