What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 4 May 2023

Pupils enjoy attending this school. They feel safe and secure at school. Pupils like learning new things in their lessons and playing with their friends. Leaders and governors have high expectations for every pupil. Staff share these high expectations of pupils. Pupils work hard in lessons and successfully meet these expectations. Pupils are polite and well mannered in lessons and around school. They are respectful of staff and of each other. Pupils treat others in the way they expect others to treat them. They know how important it is to behave towards everyone in an equal manner. It is rare for pupils to be unkind to each other. Staff deal effectively with any bullying that occurs. Pupils and parents alike value the breakfast and after-school clubs. There is a wide range of opportunities beyond lessons which are available to pupils. Pupils enjoy attending Irish dancing sessions. The school has a successful choir and a craft club. In addition, pupils attend many sports clubs. Parents and carers are positive about the work of the school. One parent said, 'Fabulous school, wouldn't hesitate to recommend to others, every child really does matter'. This reflects the views of many other parents and carers.

What the school should improve

  • Teachers do not check consistently on how well pupils remember key knowledge. This means that some pupils do not remember the key knowledge they need for future learning. Leaders should provide teachers with extra training and support to make sure they check more consistently on what pupils know and can remember.
  • In some subjects, there is inconsistency in the presentation of pupils' work. This means that some pupils do not take sufficient pride in their work. School leaders should ensure that all staff model the exact letter and number formation they expect from pupils.
