What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 6 June 2023
Pupils, families and staff are proud to be part of this caring community. Leaders have created a supportive and nurturing environment where pupils feel safe. Relationships between staff and pupils are very positive. Parents and carers praise the dedication of staff and the support they receive from leaders. Pupils enjoy coming to this school. They are eager to learn, and behave extremely well. They are highly motivated, and support and encourage each other. They are polite and courteous and develop in confidence as they move up the school. Pupils are enthusiastic about their outdoor play areas. During breaktimes, they enjoy varied activities, including dance, sport and the mud kitchen. After-school clubs are well attended, and pupils have varied opportunities to develop their talents and interests. Pupils are supported to develop their independence. Older pupils take on roles of responsibility, such as leading prayer circles and running 'eco' clubs. Pupils contribute to their communities through the 'courageous advocates' programme.
What the school should improve
- At times, teachers do not choose content, resources and teaching strategies that are well suited to pupils' different needs and capabilities. This limits some pupils' progression through the curriculum. Leaders must ensure that teachers adapt their approach so that pupils of all abilities make strong progress.
