What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 28 November 2023
Pupils are happy here. This is evident in how they get on with their school work and the way that they treat one another. Pupils enjoy learning. The school is ambitious and has high aspirations for all pupils. All staff have high expectations for pupils' behaviour and conduct, which pupils know, understand and respect. Pupils consistently follow the school's routines and rules. Pupils' behaviour is sensible, calm and does not disrupt learning in class. The school provides a range of experiences to nurture and develop pupils' citizenship and social awareness. This begins in the early years, and the complexity of thinking progresses age-appropriately year on year. This includes encouraging pupils to reflect on their place in society, as well as that of others. As a result, pupils' caring attitudes and community spirit are encouraged, and pupils regularly contribute to local foodbanks and discuss themes such as social justice. Pupils are taught to be thoughtful, kind and respectful of others. Parents and carers commented on the school's caring community, where their children are able to flourish. Pupils are taught how to keep themselves safe. They feel safe. Staff help pupils to resolve any issues if they arise.
What the school should improve
- On occasion, delivery of the planned curriculum, including in the early years, is not routinely effective. This means that, sometimes, the key vocabulary, knowledge, and skills that the school intends pupils to know are not explicitly taught so that pupils can remember them. The school should ensure that the precise knowledge, skills and vocabulary it wants pupils to know and remember are taught clearly in all subjects.
