What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 6 February 2024
On the walls, entering the building, pupils are greeted by the message 'all are welcome'. This truly is a sentiment that pupils feel accurately describes the loving, community spirit at their school. Pupils are happy at school and get along well with one another. They feel that their differences are accepted and embraced. Cheerful, friendly staff look after pupils well. This contributes to pupils feeling safe and secure. It is a school filled with warmth and positivity. Pupils are well behaved and sensible. Social times are calm and well-organised. Pupils have plenty to do during these times, such as playing board games indoors or ball games outside. The school is ambitious for what pupils should achieve. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils typically achieve well in many subjects. Those with a particular talent in mathematics achieve exceptionally well by the time that they leave Year 6. Pupils benefit for a range of opportunities to explore further interests and develop their unique talents. For example, pupils access violin, guitar and piano lessons. They also attend a performing arts club that regularly puts on plays for the school. Pupils enjoy participating in sports competitions. They were particularly proud to tell inspectors of their historic and current footballing achievements in local and regional tournaments.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the school is not clear on how well subject curriculums are being implemented and the impact that these curriculums are having on pupils' learning. At times, the school is unable to act as quickly as it otherwise could to address some deficiencies in the design of these curriculums and some gaps in pupils' knowledge. The school should refine how it oversees subject curriculums so that it is better placed to support teachers to deliver curriculum content well.
