What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 January 2023
Pupils enjoy being part of this close-knit school community. On their arrival in Reception, children quickly learn and live up to the school values. Pupils go out of their way to show kindness. They willingly take responsibility for themselves and others, whether in lessons, on the playground or in the local community. Pupils enthusiastically told inspectors about clearing litter and planting grass seed and flowers to improve their local environment. The strength of the school community is plain to see when pupils gather in assemblies to sing and celebrate each other's achievements. High expectations of behaviour ensure pupils behave well and are kind to each other. Pupils value learning and work hard to learn as well as they can. They concentrate in lessons and follow instructions well. Children in Reception learn how to help each other learn. As pupils move through the school, they collaborate well and, together, experience high levels of success. Pupils feel safe at school. They know that staff are willing and able to help should they need to. Pupils told inspectors that bullying is rare. When it does occur, staff deal with it well and it stops.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, some staff do not yet have the subject knowledge they need to plan learning activities as effectively as they could. As a result, pupils do not always remember the knowledge leaders intend. Leaders must continue training staff so that they have the necessary subject knowledge across the curriculum.
- Some teachers do not give pupils with SEND sufficient opportunities to practise the strategies they learn to overcome the challenges they face. As a result, these pupils sometimes do not learn the curriculum in lessons as well as they could because they have not used the strategies they have learned. Leaders must check that teachers ensure pupils with SEND are encouraged and given the opportunities to apply strategies they have learned to help them learn better.
