What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 24 September 2024
Pupils are proud to be members of this happy and caring school. Children in the early years are given a warm welcome. They settle into school life quickly. Positive relationships between staff and pupils are evident throughout the school. Pupils value the worry boxes that they use to help them to talk to adults about any concerns that they may have. 'Buddies' support pupils to play happily together at breaktimes. In lessons and around school, most pupils behave well. They enjoy being recognised for their kindness and positive attitudes to school life. Pupils spoke with pride about the house points, star of the week and lunchtime awards that they receive in assemblies. The school has high expectations of pupils' academic achievement, including that of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils take pride in their work and achieve well across a range of subjects. Children in the early years are exceptionally well prepared for the demands of key stage 1. Many pupils contribute to school life by taking on additional leadership responsibilities. For example, by becoming school councillors and subject ambassadors. Pupils benefit from clubs that develop their talents and interests through their 'university' experiences.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, some improvements to curriculums are more recent. Some pupils' knowledge and skills are not as secure as they could be in these subjects. This is because pupils have had less opportunity to secure some important aspects of their learning. The school should ensure that improvements to these curriculums are embedded and implemented fully to support pupils to develop a strong body of knowledge in these subjects.
