What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 December 2021
Pupils like being at school. They told inspectors, 'It's always so joyful here'. Pupils enjoy learning and playing with their friends. They say that they feel safe. Pupils know that there is always a member of staff they can speak to if they are worried about anything. Staff expect pupils to work hard and do their best. Expectations are high in most subjects. They work hard in lessons and like to achieve well. Pupils are proud of the achievements of everyone in the school. One pupil told inspectors, 'I like seeing the smiles on people's faces when they get an award in a Friday assembly'. Pupils enjoy taking on responsibilities, such as being school ambassadors and play leaders. Pupils respect each other. They are polite. Pupils behave well. Incidents of poor behaviour are rare. Bullying is not tolerated. Pupils told inspectors that staff are quick to deal with any bullying. Staff promote equality well. Pupils are accepting of those who are different to them, including those of different faiths. Parents and carers are overwhelmingly positive about the school. One parent's comment summed up the views of many: 'The school has a lovely family feel. Staff couldn't do any more for our children'. Parents appreciate the regular communication from the school.
What the school should improve
- The school's curriculum is not yet sufficiently well planned and sequenced in some subjects. However, it is clear that leaders have already taken action to plan next year's curriculum and to train staff in how to deliver it. For this reason, the transitional arrangements have been applied.
- The key content and knowledge that pupils need to learn in some subjects, such as art, design technology and modern foreign languages, is not sufficiently well planned and sequenced. They do not show what pupils should learn and when, to build their knowledge over time. Pupils do not always remember important knowledge in these subjects as well as they should. Leaders should ensure that their plans to deliver the curriculum are as ambitious as other subjects in the school.
