What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 February 2023
Pupils are very happy. They are confident and eager to talk about their school, learning and play. Visitors to lessons are met by 'class greeters' who explain the work going on in their class. Pupils take pride in being reading ambassadors, well- being champions and house captains, and taking on other roles of responsibility. Adults have high expectations of behaviour and the atmosphere within the school is calm and friendly. Pupils enjoy assemblies. Here they develop an understanding of how they should treat others and that bullying is never tolerated. Pupils are accepting of each other's differences and are kind to each other. Pupils eat together at lunchtime before going out to play. They learn about the importance of turn- taking, which helps them play happily together. The school's community ethos can be clearly seen in these pupil interactions. Pupils are sensible in lessons and focus on their work. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are included in all lessons. Their independence is sensitively balanced with the helpful adult support they receive. Teachers know pupils well and relationships are strong. Pupils are very clear that they trust their teachers to look after them.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, the precise knowledge and skills which pupils need have not been carefully mapped out. Teachers are therefore not able to quickly identify where pupils have gaps in their understanding. Leaders should ensure all subjects have complete and sequenced curriculums to allow teachers to check pupils' knowledge and understanding.
- Subject leaders have not always had the support and monitoring required as they implement the curriculum. This means that curriculum planning in a small number of subjects is not as secure as it is in others. Leaders should ensure effective use of monitoring processes to ensure the full curriculum is put in place.
