What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 October 2023
This school has many strengths. There are high expectations for behaviour and learning, and pupils respond very well to these. The school's broad curriculum is efficiently organised; lessons run smoothly and pupils achieve much. In English and mathematics, for example, standards are strong and pupils are well prepared for secondary school. As well as classroom learning, pupils take part in trips and carry out jobs to help others. This supports them to take responsibility and show initiative. From Nursery to Year 6, there is a sense of pride in the school. This is evident in the high-quality displays of work, and in the attitudes of leaders, staff and pupils towards their work and towards each other. Relationships are caring, supportive and reflect the school's Christian values. In class and on the playground, pupils get along and consider one another's feelings. Bullying is uncommon but pupils are taught how to spot it and report it should it happen. The school has informed and attentive routines for keeping pupils safe and promoting good behaviour. Pupils and parents value being part of the school community. They have many positive things to say about school life and how happy the pupils are at this well-led, inclusive school.
What the school should improve
- Curriculum thinking and design in some foundation subjects are stronger than they are in others. In some foundation subjects, either the curriculum tries to cover too much or some aspects do not receive enough attention. The school should continue to strengthen curriculum sequencing so that pupils can make the best possible progress in all subjects.
- The school's new PSHE curriculum is at an early stage of implementation. Further staff training is planned but has not yet taken place. The school should ensure that all staff understand how to implement the PSHE curriculum well.
