What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 22 February 2024
Pupils are happy at this school. They enjoy learning and playing in the vibrant and nurturing environment that staff have created for them. Two- and three-year-olds in the early years settle down quickly, listen to adults and each other, take turns and share resources. This very positive behaviour continues through to the end of Year 6. Pupils follow instructions immediately, enjoy sharing ideas in pairs and groups and concentrate intently on learning activities. Pupils know that staff expect them to do their best at all times and to persevere when they encounter difficulties. They enjoy the challenge of rising to these high expectations, and most achieve well in many subjects. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), take full advantage of the wide range of activities that the school provides. The school encourages pupils to put themselves in the shoes of those less fortunate than themselves. For example, they help to organise activities to raise money for local and global charities. As they get older, pupils have increasing opportunities to take on responsibilities. For instance, some lead assemblies and some are play leaders or ambassadors for subjects, including mathematics.
What the school should improve
- For some pupils, the strategies that teachers use to help them remember learning over time are not sufficiently effective. As a result, some pupils do not remember enough of what they have learned in the past. The school should ensure that teachers make effective use of opportunities to revisit learning so that pupils know and remember more over time.
- Sometimes, teachers do not spot when some pupils have not fully understood their learning. They move on to new learning too quickly for some pupils. As a result, at times, learning is hindered by lingering misconceptions. The school should ensure that teachers check that all pupils have understood what has been taught before new knowledge is introduced.
