What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 February 2025
Pupils are happy to attend their warm and welcoming school. They say that it is like belonging to a big family, where everyone is celebrated and encouraged to be themselves. Pupils know that staff care about them. They know that there is always a trusted adult to turn to if they are worried or upset. Pupils welcome the school's high expectations for their learning. They embrace the school's motto of 'teamwork towards targets', and they always try their best. Pupils work hard in their lessons and achieve well. This includes children in the early years, who are curious, purposeful learners. Pupils' behaviour is good. They learn about the school rules of 'ready, respectful, safe' from when they start school in the Nursery Year. They appreciate that these rules contribute to a calm, pleasant atmosphere. Pupils are courteous and respectful to all. Pupils benefit from strong pastoral support for their well-being. They have opportunities to take on positions of responsibility, such as being a member of the school council or the eco team. Pupils enjoy attending a range of clubs, such as gymnastics and singing. They learn how to keep themselves safe and healthy. Pupils understand about online risks and how to avoid them.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the school's approaches to assessment are not effective. Sometimes, teachers do not know how much knowledge pupils have learned in lessons or remembered over time. The school should ensure that, in these subjects, there is a clear approach to checking learning so that teachers can identify and address pupils' misconceptions swiftly.
- Sometimes, in a few subjects, the activities that teachers select do not support pupils to learn the knowledge in the curriculum. This hinders some pupils' understanding and ability to build their knowledge over time. The school should ensure that it has clearer oversight of how the curriculum is being delivered and that teachers' pedagogical choices enable pupils to learn well.
