What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 November 2023
Pupils flourish in this nurturing and welcoming school. Leaders make sure that everyone matters and is treated equally. Pupils are safe and happy, knowing that trusted adults will help them with any worries. They benefit from the high expectations of all school leaders and staff. The school is a close and harmonious community, where older pupils take good care of the younger ones. The school's strong values shine through in daily life. Pupils behave well in this school, both during lessons and at playtimes. They play well together outside, show good manners and are polite throughout the day. Pupils respect each other. Staff encourage pupils to appreciate the views of others from different backgrounds and faiths. Behaviour is managed sensitively and with care so that learning is not disrupted. Pupils love to take on a wide range of responsibilities, such as being part of the chaplaincy team, a school councillor, or a play leader. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive skilled and effective support. Parents and carers were overwhelmingly positive in their feedback about the school. Many parents wrote and spoke about how 'The school has a lovely, family feel'.
What the school should improve
- In a few foundation subjects, leaders have not identified the important content pupils need to learn precisely. This means some pupils do not build knowledge and deepen their understanding as well as they could. The school needs to make sure that the important knowledge and vocabulary that pupils need to learn are sequenced to help pupils build this securely over time.
- On occasion, teaching does not make secure checks on what pupils know and remember. This means that, occasionally, pupils have gaps in their knowledge and understanding about how to access new learning confidently. The school needs to make sure that teaching uses assessment information to identify and address any gaps in pupils' knowledge to ensure they are fully ready for future learning.
