What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 12 March 2024
Pupils are proud to attend this welcoming, friendly school. The school's Christian ethos underpins everything that happens here. There is a strong focus on building positive relationships. As a result, pupils are respectful of their peers and adults. They show empathy and care for each other. For example, pupils in Year 6 help to look after pupils in 'the nest'. This is the school's quiet space where pupils can go if they have any worries or concerns. The school has created a highly inclusive culture. Pupils are very respectful of difference. Behaviour in lessons, and around school, is calm and orderly. Instances of poor behaviour are unusual. Where this does happen, the school acts swiftly to address it. Pupils demonstrate the school's simple behaviour rules of 'responsible, respectful, safe' consistently well. Pupils enjoy their learning and achieve well. They have confidence in adults to give them extra support with their learning when they need it. The school has developed an ambitious curriculum. Leaders have thought carefully about how to plan for the mixed-age classes. Pupils appreciate the opportunities they get to take on responsibilities. For example, they can become a librarian, Makaton leader or well-being warrior.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, teachers do not develop pupils' disciplinary knowledge well enough. Pupils have limited opportunities to work like a geographer or a historian, for example. The school should ensure that teaching matches the knowledge that is outlined in curriculum plans so that pupils' disciplinary knowledge builds over time.
