What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 28 March 2023
Pupils are polite and respectful. Working relationships between staff and pupils are extremely positive. Leaders consider carefully that all pupils are taught about healthy relationships and diversity at an age-appropriate level. For example, the 'Confidence Club' for Year 6 pupils helps them to explore safety and personal boundaries. Leaders and most staff have extremely high expectations of all pupils. There is a positive approach to behaviour across the school. Leaders provide pupils with a wealth of opportunities. They work hard to engage pupils with their local community. Pupils raise money for local charities and help with the local food banks. Leaders organise visits to local libraries, museums, and aquariums. In early years, children enjoyed visits from a local author and police officers. Pupils are very happy here. They said that they like school because 'everyone is included'. Leaders do not tolerate any discrimination. Pupils new to the school are welcomed warmly.
What the school should improve
- Occasionally, books for pupils to practise their early reading are not at the right decodable level. This means that pupils do not have opportunities to build their reading fluency and confidence as quickly as they could. Leaders must ensure that staff routinely provide pupils with books that match closely with the sounds they know.
- In some subjects, leaders' curriculum thinking is not fully developed. As a result, subject content is not precisely identified and built up sequentially in these subjects. Leaders should ensure that in all subjects the curriculum is planned progressively and consistently well.
