What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 3 October 2023

'All different, learning together' sums up what it is like at this inclusive and nurturing school. Pupils know that the staff care about them. They say that the teachers are kind and help them to learn. Pupils are happy at school and proudly talk about how everyone is welcome here. Pupils behave exceptionally well. They are polite to visitors and respectful towards staff and each other. At breaktimes, the playground is a lively space where pupils play with each other happily. The youngest children in Nursery and Reception settle quickly into school because adults build warm, caring relationships with them. Pupils have opportunities to take on responsibilities, including as members of the school council and as librarians. These roles make a real difference. Pupils say that adults listen to their ideas. For example, the eco-council has changed the way the school collects waste. It also organises clothing swap-shops to recycle clothing. Pupils are clear that this is a school where difference is celebrated. They know everyone is treated fairly. Pupils say that 'we all have the opportunity to shine'. The school has high expectations for pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils are eager to learn and they achieve well.

What the school should improve

  • The curriculum is not always delivered as consistently as the school intends, including in the early years. This means that some pupils miss opportunities to learn. The school should develop a consistent pedagogical framework to eliminate inconsistencies in teaching and ensure that no opportunity for learning is missed.
