What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 27 February 2024
Pupils are happy at this warm and caring school. They enjoy its nurturing environment. The school builds strong relationships with pupils, and it knows their families well. Pupils described the school as an 'extended family'. Pupils behave well. They are polite and respectful. They learn about friendship, kindness and tolerance. Pupils get on well together and enjoy being with their friends. Pupils commented that staff encourage them to rebuild their relationships when they fall out with each other. They feel safe. The school has raised its aspirations for pupils' learning across the curriculum. Pupils strive to meet these high expectations. They have positive attitudes towards their work, enjoy their learning and work hard in class. However, due to a weaker curriculum in the past, pupils do not have the secure prior knowledge to ensure that they learn well in some subjects. This is also true for some children in the early years. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are proud of their leadership responsibilities. For example, in acting as school councillors, play leaders and eco-ambassadors, pupils make a positive contribution to their school.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, pupils have gaps in their knowledge due to weaknesses in the previous curriculum. This means that these pupils do not have a secure foundation on which to build when new learning is introduced. The school should ensure that pupils have the chance to revisit lost or forgotten learning to make sure that they can build on what they know and can do.
- In the early years, some teaching staff do not provide learning activities that support children to learn what is intended. This hinders children's achievement across different areas of learning. The school should ensure that staff in the early years are suitably trained to deliver the curriculum so that more children are ready for Year 1.
- The support that some pupils receive to help them keep pace with the phonics curriculum is not effective enough. This hampers pupils' reading success and confidence. The school should ensure that staff are suitably trained to help these pupils to catch up quickly and become accurate and fluent readers.
