What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 June 2023
All staff inspire pupils' to love learning here. Leaders encourage pupils to act with tolerance and respect for others. One parent or carer, typical of many, commented: 'My children are flourishing, learning well and being given a strong foundation of skills that will prepare them for their futures.' Leaders have designed a broad and rigorous curriculum. They ensure that all pupils follow it. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Leaders have high expectations of pupils and of staff. While these expectations are regularly met, leaders constantly look to improve the school further. Leaders want pupils to enjoy school because 'happy children learn well'. Pupils are kind and they are safe, too. Pupils from different year groups play and speak with one another happily. Pupils know never to disrupt their classmates' learning. Leaders organise many experiences for pupils to ensure that they are fully prepared for life in modern Britain. The school council provides pupils with opportunities to contribute to school-wide decision-making. Leaders support pupils' mental health. For example, they organise a well-being-awareness day. Oscar, the school's therapy dog, comes into school every week to work with selected pupils. Pupils attend clubs including chess, netball and typing.
What the school should improve
- In a few foundation subjects, leaders have not sufficiently isolated and sequenced the precise knowledge and skills that pupils need to know and remember over time. In these subjects, pupils are not helped to build as deep a body of knowledge as in other subjects. The school should ensure that the core knowledge and skills that pupils need to know are clearly defined and sequenced across all subjects, and ensure that pupils are helped to remember key content over time.
