What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 January 2025
The school's new S.T.A.R values of 'safe, together, achieve, respect' are becoming the golden thread that links all aspects of school life. Pupils know the values and talk confidently about how these are helping with their behaviour and learning. Pupils feel safe and know adults will help them with any worries they may have. The school has focused on improving behaviour by raising expectations. Pupils say they enjoy coming to school. Learning in classrooms is not interrupted by poor behaviour. Pupils with more challenging behaviour needs are well supported. Pupils know that any incidents of bullying are now dealt with quickly and fairly. Pupils are proud to take on the many leadership roles, such as head boy and girl, house and sports captains. These responsibilities give them the opportunity to represent the school and be role models. Pupils enjoy the wide range of clubs they can attend. The school is highly ambitious for every pupil, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). It acknowledges that pupils have not achieved as well as they should. The school is determined to raise pupils' outcomes. It is making rapid improvements to do so.
What the school should improve
- The important changes the school has made to the curriculum are not fully implemented. As a result, the gaps pupils have in their subject knowledge and skills have not been addressed. The school needs to ensure that all subjects are fully embedded so that pupils can build on their learning and outcomes improve for all groups of pupils.
- Some pupils in the early years do not acquire the fundamental knowledge and skills they need. As a result, they are not as prepared as they should be for their next stage of learning. The school should ensure the new curriculum enables children, including those with SEND, to deepen their knowledge and understanding across all areas of learning, preparing them well for key stage 1.
