What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 11 July 2023

Pupils enjoy coming to school because teachers make learning fun and practical. Pupils are keen to talk about their learning experiences. They take pride in their work. Leaders have high expectations for all. Staff encourage pupils to do their best. Pupils behave well. They move around the school sensibly and in a calm, orderly manner. Pupils are polite and well mannered. For instance, they greet and open doors for each other. They are kind and patient. They show incredible support and empathy towards each other. Staff enable pupils to develop as tolerant, confident, and articulate individuals. Playtimes are pleasant places to be. This is because staff think carefully about what activities they provide. Adults show care and guidance. Staff respond quickly to any concerns raised to ensure pupils stay safe. Pupils are enthusiastic about the variety of clubs on offer, such as gardening, movies, and street dance. Leaders meet their high aspirations and ensure that all pupils participate in a wide range of outings and visits, including to museums, theatres, universities, and places of worship.

What the school should improve

  • Sometimes, teaching does not implement the curriculum consistently. This limits some pupils' subject-specific understanding. The school must develop staff's expertise in all subjects, so that they can implement the intended curriculum with precision to deepen pupils' knowledge and skills.
  • Outcomes for pupils in Year 6 last year were low in mathematics and writing. The school should continue to build on recent improvements in these subjects, so that outcomes for pupils improve rapidly.
