What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 28 March 2023
Pupils are happy and enjoy their learning. They appreciate the very caring school community. In the early years, children settle quickly into school life. They grow in confidence and independence to share their learning and 'have a go'. Older pupils discuss ideas and support one another. They respond well to teachers' high expectations. They develop mature, positive attitudes to learning and achieve well. Pupils are safe. They learn about staying safe and healthy, including what makes up healthy relationships. They demonstrate tolerance and respect for others. Bullying happens rarely. Pupils are confident that teachers will stop any unkind behaviour quickly. Pupils behave well, both in lessons and on the playground. Pupils enjoy the trips, visits and events that link to their learning. They proudly represent the school in sporting and musical events, such as the recent 'Braintree Big Sing'. Pupils have many opportunities to take on positions of responsibility and to attend the various clubs on offer. Year 5 and 6 pupils support younger pupils' play at breaktimes. They help to serve and cut up food for younger pupils in the dining hall.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, leaders have not identified precisely enough the most important knowledge and how this develops over time. In these subjects, pupils are not consistently able to make links within and across their learning because staff do not help them do so. Leaders should ensure that they identify and set out clearly the knowledge and skills to be learned in each subject and that they help staff build on pupils' previous learning effectively in all subjects.
- Assessment is less precise in some foundation subjects. This means that in these subjects, teachers do not use assessment information as well as they could to identify and address any gaps in pupils' knowledge. Leaders should ensure that teachers continue to refine their use of assessment in the wider curriculum so that they accurately identify gaps in pupils' knowledge and use this information to inform their planning.
