What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 15 November 2023
Pupils, including children in the early years, are proud to attend this welcoming and caring school. They form positive, respectful relationships with staff and with each other. Through their roles as ambassadors and beacons, pupils delight in helping others. They said that the school is a happy, positive place where everyone is welcome. The school has embedded routines and expectations that help pupils to behave well in lessons, at social times and when moving around the school. Pupils are polite and considerate. They relish in opportunities to find out more about the wider world. For instance, pupils enjoy engaging with trusted members of the local community and finding out about different religions. Pupils celebrate and value diversity. Pupils are encouraged to follow their interests and to develop further their talents. They attend a range of clubs, including choir, cookery and football. Pupils enjoy taking part in local performances and sporting competitions. The school has high expectations of what all pupils can achieve, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Staff support pupils well to remember the knowledge that they need for future learning. As a result, pupils typically live up to the school's expectations and they achieve well across the curriculum.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, the school does not have a clear enough overview of how well children in the early years are learning. This makes it more difficult for the school to check that the curriculum in these subjects is preparing children sufficiently well for the next stage of their education. The school should ensure that it has a well-developed understanding of how successfully the curriculum in each subject is preparing children for their next steps.
