What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 22 October 2024
Pupils are positive and enthusiastic about their time in school. They enjoy learning within and beyond the classroom. Pupils connect their learning with life outside of school. For example, by role playing in the school's 'French café' or taking part in a workshop about life in the Stone Age. In class, pupils focus well. They understand the school's expectations of how they should behave. Their achievements are recognised and celebrated, such as in assemblies or with postcards home. Older pupils act as 'buddies' for children in the early years. This helps to create a caring and welcoming ethos throughout the school. Pupils feel confident that there is always someone they can turn to if they are worried. The school has undergone a number of significant changes in the last two years. These include a more consistent approach to behaviour, changes to the curriculum, and greater opportunities for pupils' wider development. All of these have led to a raising of expectations for what pupils can achieve here. As a result, pupils are prepared well for the next stage in their learning. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) benefit strongly from the support that the school offers.
What the school should improve
- Weaknesses in previous curriculums mean that some pupils in key stage 2 have not securely embedded aspects of their previous learning. This makes it difficult for these pupils to access the tasks set. The school should ensure that, as the new foundation subject curriculum is embedded, gaps in understanding for older pupils continue to close swiftly and fully.
- The school has not made sure that all teachers are systematic about checking that pupils understand the intended learning in each task or activity. As a result, the learning of some pupils is not as secure as it could be. The school should make sure that all staff have the necessary expertise to check for and address misconceptions as pupils are learning. Primary School 3
