What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 27 June 2023
Leaders encourage pupils to develop a life-long love of learning here. Parents and carers typically said that the teachers are very helpful and that the school feels like a family. Leaders have designed a curriculum across all subjects that is broad and balanced. It is ambitious for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Leaders also make sure that all pupils, including pupils with SEND, are fully included in the life of the school. Pupils play together kindly at break and lunchtimes. Pupils are safe. Teachers address any silliness in class so that pupils return to learning quickly. If there are any issues, teachers sort them out. Pupils attend a range of clubs, including dance and movement, and construction toys. Leaders provide students with leadership opportunities. Pupils are keen to become library monitors, house captains or a member of the school council. Two pupils become prime minister and deputy prime minister each year. Leaders also organise regular educational visits. Pupils recently visited the British Museum, the Science Museum, a library and the seaside.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, the school has not isolated and sequenced the key knowledge that pupils need to know and remember across all year groups. This means that, at times, pupils do not build their curriculum knowledge systematically and do not subsequently achieve as much as they could. The school should ensure that the core knowledge that pupils need to know and remember is clearly identified and sequenced in these subjects.
- In a few subjects, leaders' and teachers' subject knowledge is not as strong as it could be. This means that staff do not deliver the curriculum in these subjects as effectively as they could do and that pupils do not learn, and cannot do, as much as they should. The school should make sure that all leaders and teachers have equally strong subject knowledge across all subjects in the curriculum.
