What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 June 2024
'We have come so far because of our teachers.' This view of one Year 6 pupil sums up the warm and welcoming ethos that pervades throughout this school. Staff get to know pupils well in order to meet their needs. Pupils look after each other and enjoy spending time with their friends. Staff consistently have high expectations of pupils in both their learning and behaviour as part of the school's 'conscious community'. Staff expect pupils to show respect, build resilience and develop strong relationships. As a result, pupils are morally grounded and make the right choices. They know staff will help them with any difficulties or worries that they may have. The children in Reception love being in class and are eager to learn. They are well supported and guided effectively by adults in their learning. Pupils enjoy and benefit from a variety of school visits, clubs and activities. Pupils say there is something for everyone to do. The vast majority of older pupils have had the opportunity to represent the school at a sport. Staff consider each pupil's cultural experiences and aim to offer personalised opportunities for disadvantaged pupils who would benefit most.
What the school should improve
- Occasionally, some pupils are given work that does not accurately meet their needs. This means that pupils can overly rely on adult support or not be challenged enough. The school should ensure that all pupils are given work that meets their needs and enables them to build the knowledge, skills and vocabulary that they are capable of.
