What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 26 April 2022
Pupils enjoy being at this school and feel safe. They are confident in sharing concerns with members of staff. They say that staff know them well and will support them. From Nursery onwards, staff help pupils to reflect on their feelings and to understand their emotions. Pupils benefit from a rich and ambitious curriculum, which is underpinned by the cultural heritage of the local area. For example, pupils learned about weaving when they visited the Ancient Technology Centre. Pupils are calm and well behaved. They say that bullying is rare and that staff help resolve any issues when they occur. Staff teach pupils to respect diversity and to tolerate views that are different to theirs. Pupils learn about healthy relationships and that it is wrong to judge people because of their beliefs or appearance. They celebrate Christianity and learn about a range of religions and cultures. Pupils enjoy taking on responsibility. This includes being members of the pupil council, the eco-council and being librarians. Pupils arrange activities to raise money to help others. For example, they baked cakes and sold them to help support the British Red Cross. This helps pupils to become responsible citizens.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, assessment is not used consistently well to help build on what pupils know and understand. This slows pupils' progress through the curriculum. Leaders should ensure that assessment is used effectively so that pupils can build on their prior knowledge to help them to know more and remember more across all subjects.
- In some subjects, leaders have only recently started to check the effectiveness of the curriculum. As a result, they do not have a complete understanding of how well the curriculum is being delivered or how well pupils are learning. Leaders should ensure that subject leaders get the support they need to be able to monitor and improve the quality of the curriculum in all subjects.
