What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 29 March 2023
Staff, pupils and parents and carers form a harmonious school community. All members of this close-knit school show the utmost respect for each other. Pupils said that they are happy to be in the school because they learn new things and teachers look after them. Leaders expect a lot of their pupils' achievement and behaviour. This is a shared vision across the whole school community. Pupils respond well to these high expectations. They behave well and are prepared for the next stage in their education. Staff and pupils form warm relationships built on shared school values. Pupils try hard in lessons. They concentrate on their learning. This includes children in the Reception class. Pupils know who their trusted adult is in the school. They can use the 'chill and chat club' to discuss their worries with adults in the school. Pupils know that adults will listen to their concerns. Bullying is rare. Leaders put a stop to the very small number of incidents that occur so that they do not happen again. This helps pupils to feel safe in the school. Pupils keenly take on extra responsibilities. They take these responsibilities seriously. They are keen to be part of the pupil-voice committee, which helps to improve the school. They are proud of their Peaceful Place and school library bus.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, leaders' checks on the implementation of the curriculum do not tell them enough about how well pupils are learning. As a result, in these subjects, occasionally some pupils do not get enough opportunity to revisit prior learning. Subject leaders should check that staff implement the curriculum effectively in all subjects so that all pupils have enough opportunities to revisit prior learning and achieve well.
