What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 26 March 2024
Pupils arrive through the school gates with a smile on their face. They are greeted warmly each morning by caring staff. Pupils say that everyone is welcome at their school. There is a strong sense of community, which permeates the very positive relationships between staff and pupils. Pupils behave well. They are sensible as they move around school. At breaktimes, pupils play happily with their friends. They take turns when playing games and are very well mannered. The school has high aspirations for pupils' achievement. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well. By the time that pupils leave Year 6, they are well prepared for secondary school. Pupils benefit from a range of extra-curricular opportunities. These include clubs, such as football, choir and time-travellers club. Pupils enjoy a range of leadership roles. For example, the ethos group raised money for a local food bank. The oldest pupils demonstrate great maturity, for example in the Easter event that they led where they helped younger pupils to think about the people who are important in their lives.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the school does not gain a deep enough overview of what pupils know and understand. This limits its ability to revise and update the curriculum to ensure that pupils achieve as well as they can over time. The school should ensure that the information from teachers' checks on pupils' learning is used more productively to identify areas of curriculum development.
- In a small number of subjects, some pupils do not remember their learning. This is because teachers sometimes do not choose activities carefully enough to help pupils to commit their learning to their long-term memory. The school should ensure that staff receive the training that they need in order for them to help pupils to retain their learning over time.
