What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 23 January 2024

Pupils enjoy the welcoming environment of their school. From early years, relationships between staff and pupils are strong. Adults want the best for the pupils. They ensure that the pupils are well cared for. Pupils are very happy. They consistently act in a kind way towards each other. Pupils take turns in conversations and listen attentively. They celebrate each other's differences, and make sure everyone feels part of school life. In lessons and playtime, pupils behave well. They benefit from a very friendly atmosphere. Rules are clearly understood and followed. Pupils follow the adults' instructions sensibly. They move around the school calmly. Likewise, lessons are also orderly. Pupils are respectful towards each other and the adults. Pupils like that they can work well without distractions. Pupils do well at school. They study a range of interesting topics across different subjects. Adults make sure that all pupils are included in the learning. If a pupil needs extra help and support, they quickly receive it. Pupils also benefit from trips which are designed to enrich their learning. Visits to local museums and castles are popular. These help to bring to life what pupils are learning in class.

What the school should improve

  • In Reception, the school has not ensured that the individual needs, interests, and development areas of each child is considered in sufficient detail including in the outside environment. As a result, children's needs are not being fully met. The school must ensure that adults consistently plan a challenging and enjoyable experience for each child. This must take account of children's varying starting points in all areas of their learning and development.
  • Where there is newer subject leadership in place, they have not had the opportunity to carry out checks on how well pupils are achieving. The school need to ensure they continue to support new leaders to make sure they carry out the checks they need to so they know how well pupils achieve in the area of the curriculum they lead.
