What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 15 October 2024
Pupils at this school are friendly, safe and happy. The school provides them with many opportunities to build their interests and independence. Pupils appreciate this and enjoy school as a result. Staff treat pupils with kindness and take the time to understand their needs. There are many ways pupils contribute to the school and wider community including taking on leadership roles. For example, they proudly partner with charities and pupils raise funds and then take donations of food to the local food bank for the benefit of others. Leaders are ambitious for their pupils. They expect them to become fluent readers, capable mathematicians and to use advanced vocabulary. This is evident when speaking with pupils who can confidently explain what they know and understand. All pupils including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) can access the same learning. Pupils are given appropriate work that matches the high expectations of the curriculum and many pupils achieve well by the time they complete Year 6. Pupils' attitudes in class are positive and respectful. They show an interest in the topics they are being taught because they are keen to learn. Teachers trust them to complete tasks and pupils are in established routines that lead to a productive learning atmosphere.
What the school should improve
- At times, pupils struggle to apply the mathematical procedures they have learned. These errors are not consistently identified and this leads to gaps in their conceptual understanding. The school should ensure that pupils are able to correctly select and apply the methods they have learned so that they can problem solve successfully, and therefore demonstrate their conceptual understanding.
- Sometimes, the behaviour of a few pupils does not meet the school's high expectations. This means that low-level incidents can occur during playtimes. The school should reinforce its expectations and ensure that pupils consistently meet the standards set by the school's behaviour policy.
