What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 8 October 2024
In this small, close-knit school, staff know pupils and their families very well. Pupils are happy to be here. Staff take good care of them. The sense of community and positive working relationships with adults make them feel safe. Everyone who joins the school is made to feel very welcome. Pupils of all ages show good discipline and can be relied upon to act sensibly as they move around the school and on the playground. Staff ensure that pupils in all year groups and classes enjoy a broad curriculum. Pupils are expected to complete all their work, although sometimes they are not challenged sufficiently to produce the highest standards of which they are capable. Staff make sure that a suitable range of extra-curricular clubs are available to meet pupils' different interests. These include sporting activities, construction club and gardening club. Pupils sing tunefully and with great gusto in assemblies. All pupils in Years 5 and 6 take part in a big choral event at a large arena in London. Pupils learn the importance of treating everyone fairly and equally. However, their experience and understanding of cultures and communities other than their own are quite limited.
What the school should improve
- Teachers do not always check on pupils' understanding effectively. This means that teaching activities do not always ensure that pupils learn and remember more to achieve a greater depth of understanding. Some pupils' work is not of a consistently high quality. The school should ensure that teachers use their checks on pupils' learning to ensure that learning activities always build on pupils' previous learning effectively or help to consolidate pupils' understanding.
- There are limited opportunities for pupils to learn about a range of different cultures beyond their own school community. Pupils' understanding of cultural diversity is not as strong as other aspects of their personal development. The school should provide more opportunities for pupils to learn about cultural diversity.
