What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 22 November 2022

Leaders create a nurturing environment, where children are happy and safe. Pupils enjoy learning and are proud of their school. Relationships between staff and pupils are positive and respectful. When there is a concern or incident, pupils know that they can speak to any adult in the school. Staff deal with any bullying concerns quickly and sensitively. Leaders' expectations for pupils' behaviour and education are typically high. Pupils learn the planned curriculum well in most of the school. Pupils make a strong start to early reading and mathematics. However, children in the early years do not benefit from this experience in all areas of the curriculum. Staff help pupils to become confident and respectful. Teachers make pupils aware of different cultures and views in society. Pupils know that discrimination or bullying will not be tolerated here. Leaders provide opportunities for pupils to take on responsibilities. For example, pupils become digital ambassadors or members of the school council. Pupils valued opportunities to support the school community.

What the school should improve

  • In some subjects, leaders have not planned a coherently sequenced curriculum which identifies key knowledge, starting in the early years. In these subjects, pupils are not securely building on prior knowledge. As a result, there are gaps in pupils' understanding. Subject leaders must identify the key knowledge to be taught from early years through to year 6 in all subjects to be taught sequentially.
  • In early years, leaders plan activities that reflect the end goals of the early years curriculum. They do not consider in sufficient depth the key knowledge, including important vocabulary, that children should learn and when. Leaders must identify and sequence the small steps of knowledge and vocabularly that children require for future learning.
