What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 12 October 2022
Pupils are proud that they attend this school. They appreciate the way that their teachers make learning interesting. They know that they can seek help should they need it. One pupil spoke for many when they said: 'When I am stuck, someone always comes to help me. The teachers are good at giving us support.' Leaders do everything they can to keep pupils safe in school and make sure that they are learning. Their expectations of pupils are high. Pupils are rarely suspended. The learning environment is calm. Pupils value the 'bee points' they receive for their good behaviour. They receive their points with pride. Pupils play happily together. They understand the school routines. They show respect to each other and to their teachers. Pupils said that bullying or 'falling-out' is quickly resolved by teachers. They said, 'There are always people I can turn to who I know will help me.' The school values of 'respect, thankfulness, peace, compassion, courage, trust and friendship' are taken extremely seriously. Pupils have a voice in the school. Their views and opinions are listened to and acted upon. They are helped to understand their community and to become an active member of it.
What the school should improve
- The curriculum in a few subjects is not well planned and sequenced. At times, there is too much focus on learning activity rather than the knowledge that pupils need to learn. Leaders must ensure that all subjects have a carefully constructed, knowledge- rich curriculum in place so that all pupils learn consistently well across all the subjects that they study.
- Some older early readers have not received a well-structured reading curriculum. Some are still struggling to read with confidence. Leaders must make sure that all pupils receive the curriculum needed to help them read fluently and accurately. They should make sure that early readers in key stage 2 have the skills they need for their next steps.
