What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 1 November 2023
This is a busy, community school where pupils feel valued and cared for. Pupils, including children in early years, enjoy their learning and taking part in the additional activities on offer each day. Pupils said that they feel happy and safe in school. Leaders are ambitious for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Staff appreciate that each pupil is unique. They expect pupils to achieve well. Pupils eagerly rise to these expectations. Pupils and staff have positive relationships, and pupils are confident that staff will listen to them if they have any worries. Behaviour in lessons and around school is calm and purposeful. Pupils value the rewards that they regularly receive for their kindness and their hard work. In early years, staff support children to settle in quickly and become familiar with the school's routines. For example, children quickly learn to share and take turns. Pupils relish taking on several leadership roles. For example, members of the school council were proud of the harvest boxes that they delivered to residents in the local community. Pupils told inspectors that staff listen to their ideas and value their important work in supporting others.
What the school should improve
- A small number of subject curriculums have recently been updated. As a result, some pupils have gaps in their knowledge as they move from the previous curriculums to the new ones. The school should ensure that teachers are suitably equipped to identify and remedy any residual gaps in pupils' knowledge.
