What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 19 April 2023

Pupils are happy here, and proud of their school. They enjoy the many opportunities to take a lead. House captains perform a variety of roles which support their peers and contribute to the smooth running of the school. For example, they help the youngest pupils collect their lunch, and take phone messages in the office. Staff have high expectations for the way that pupils should behave and engage in their learning. Most pupils meet these expectations. They show positive attitudes towards their learning and achieve well. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are fully included in every aspect of school life. Bullying is rare. When it does occur, leaders deal with it effectively and swiftly. Pupils are treated with fairness and respect. They are confident to report any worries they may have. This ensures that they feel safe, and are kept safe, in school. Pupils behave well in their classrooms and outside in the playground. They play safely, and are supported by adults to resolve any issues that arise. Pupils enjoy the wider opportunities that they have, such as school visits. Year 6 pupils are particularly excited about their upcoming residential trip to the Brecon Beacons.

What the school should improve

  • In a small number of foundation subjects, leaders have not made explicit the most important knowledge and skills that pupils should develop over time. This means teachers do not focus sufficiently on the important ideas in these areas. Leaders should ensure that the essential knowledge is consistently well defined and sequenced across the curriculum.
  • Occasionally, the activities set for pupils do not match the ambition of the planned curriculum. This means that pupils are not consistently well prepared for what they learn next. Leaders should ensure that the activities that are set consistently match the ambition of the curriculum in supporting pupils to know and remember more.
