What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 6 February 2024
Pupils are proud to attend this welcoming school. From the moment that children join the early years, they are encouraged to follow the school's rules. From this point on, children and pupils are polite, respectful and gentle towards others. Pupils benefit from the kind and caring relationships that they have with staff and each other. This helps them to grow in confidence. Pupils do their best to live up to the school's high expectations for their achievement. Pupils are eager to learn. They make the most of the learning opportunities that the school provides for them. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well. Pupils enjoy the range of activities that are on offer beyond the academic curriculum. For example, they look forward to educational visits to places of interest. Pupils take part in a broad range of clubs, such as sports, choir and crochet clubs. Pupils embrace the wide range of leadership opportunities available to them. For example, pupils who act as representatives of the school council take their roles seriously. They know that they can make a difference to the lives of others. Pupils understand that it is important to be diligent when they take on these extra responsibilities. They explained that these opportunities help to prepare them for life beyond school.
What the school should improve
- Children in the Reception Year do not have enough opportunity to deepen their learning during independent play. This means that, from time to time, some children do not learn as much as they could. The school should support staff to recognise opportunities to extend children's thinking and understanding while they play and engage in different learning activities.
- Some pupils have gaps in their knowledge of modern British society. They are less aware of some of the fundamental British values and they do not know about different forms of discrimination. In these areas, they are less well prepared for life in modern Britain than they should be. The school should ensure that all pupils learn all that they need to know in readiness for the next stage of their lives.
