What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 18 June 2024
Pupils are happy at this caring and supportive school. Staff know the pupils and their families well. Every pupil is welcome and valued. There is a genuine sense of community within the school. The school has high expectations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils behave well in lessons and at social times. Pupils are supportive of each other and respectful to the adults in the building. Pupils politely greet visitors and hold doors open for them. Pupils feel safe in school. They have trusted adults to speak to and can report any concerns to the 'worry monster.' Pupils learn how to stay safe online and offline. They understand the difference between healthy and unhealthy relationships. Pupils have access to a range of leadership opportunities. The 'mindfulness mentors' and 'well-being champions' actively support younger pupils at playtimes. Children in Reception get off to great start to their time in school. They interact with each other in a calm and respectful manner. They learn a curriculum designed to link directly to the subjects they will study in Key Stage 1.
What the school should improve
- At times, some pupils move through the writing curriculum too quickly. As a result, some pupils do not develop a secure knowledge of some aspects of spelling, punctuation and grammar. The school should ensure that pupils embed their understanding of the basic skills of writing before they move on in the writing curriculum.
- In some foundation subjects, teachers do not regularly check to ensure that pupils learn and remember the intended curriculum. As a result, some pupils have small gaps in their knowledge in these subjects. The school should ensure that the approach to assessment is fully developed and implemented in all subjects.
