What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 June 2022
Leaders have high expectations of what all pupils can achieve. The school's vision that pupils are 'ready for life now and in the future' is a golden thread that runs through the school. Pupils enjoy coming to school. They are well supported by adults to manage their feelings and emotions. They value spending time with Teddy, the school's dog. During social times, pupils enjoy a wide range of activities such as table football, chalk drawings on the playground and playing in the mud kitchen. As a result, there is a calm and orderly atmosphere in the school and on the playground. Pupils have a good understanding of what bullying is. They say that bullying is rare. If it does happen, they are confident that it will be dealt with quickly by the adults in school. As a result, pupils feel safe in school and know who they can talk to if they have any worries. Relationships throughout the school are strong. Pupils develop a positive understanding of the fundamental British values. They learn the importance of respecting everyone, regardless of difference. Pupils understand the rule of law and enjoy the opportunities to work alongside local PCSOs as 'mini police'.
What the school should improve
- Leaders have not sufficiently considered the important knowledge pupils need to learn in some wider curriculum subjects. It is not always explicit what pupils should know and by when. Leaders should ensure that staff identify and sequence knowledge precisely so that pupils have the building blocks for future learning.
- Leaders have worked hard to build links with the school community. However, this is not yet as strong as leaders and parents would like. Leaders need to continue the work that has already started, in order to strengthen relationships with parents.
