What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 5 November 2024
This school gives pupils and their families a lot of support. Whether this be swift action to keep children safe or extra help with early language and reading, the school sets clear expectations for pupils, staff, parents and carers. Because of this, pupils feel safe and valued in school. They behave well and have positive attitudes to learning and one another. Adults promote the school's values and treat pupils kindly. They teach them to be truthful, respectful and resilient. The school teaches pupils about how to stay safe, both in school and at home. Staff listen to what pupils say and remind them what to do if anything is worrying them. Pupil 'play leaders' are also quick to help anyone who feels left out or upset. But this rarely happens because there is lots to do on the playground to keep children happy and occupied. Since the previous inspection, pupils' achievement has been up and down. However, recent improvements are supporting pupils to make better progress through the curriculum over time. Reading is now stronger than ever. This makes it easier for pupils to access the rest of the curriculum. Pupils' current work is typically of a good standard.
What the school should improve
- Despite a strong start, the delivery of the mathematics curriculum varies in quality. This is because activities in lessons do not necessarily give pupils enough guidance or practice. This hinders learning for some. The school should make sure the mathematics curriculum provides pupils with clear guidance and sufficient practice so they learn as well as possible.
- A few pupils are absent from school without good reason. This means they miss learning and have an increased risk of falling behind. The school should further strengthen its work with families and professional services to challenge and support parents to improve their children's school attendance.
