What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 11 June 2024

This is a friendly and welcoming place, where pupils are happy and feel safe. The school prides itself on knowing each pupil well. Pupils know they have trusted adults they can speak to if they have any worries. Pupils behave well in lessons and around the school. The school has high expectations for pupils' achievement, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). However, some aspects of the curriculum are not implemented effectively enough, meaning that many pupils are not prepared for the next stage of their education as well as they should be. There are some examples of more recent improvements, but outcomes at the end of key stage 1 in 2023 were too low, especially in writing and mathematics. Pupils benefit from a thoughtful curriculum that is enriched with meaningful experiences, such as visiting the local area where the Magna Carta was signed. These kinds of activities broaden pupils' experiences and enhance their learning within the curriculum. Pupils enjoy becoming part of their supportive local community. They learn how to do this through strong links with the local church and through taking part in projects which teach life skills while helping others. This helps them to feel responsible and confident.

What the school should improve

  • Often, pupils' work is not sufficiently focused on the most important content that they need to learn. This means that pupils do not consistently build their understanding over time. The school should ensure that staff design ambitious tasks to support pupils to learn the essential knowledge and skills, including in writing.
  • Assessment is underdeveloped. Staff are inconsistent in checking pupils' understanding and this slows pupils' learning. The school should support staff to accurately check pupils' progress through the curriculum. Staff should use this information to inform future teaching to help pupils achieve consistently highly.
