What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 March 2024
Pupils are proud members of their caring and inclusive school. Each morning, there is a warm welcome at the school gate for everyone. Pupils know that all adults want the very best for them. They relish living up to these expectations, and they achieve well. Through their leadership roles, such as eco-councillors, playtime buddies and monitors, pupils look after others and the environment well. They are happy and know that staff will quickly deal with any worries they may have. The values of 'Courage, Inclusiveness and Active Citizen' permeate all aspects of everyday life. These qualities can be seen and heard in the way pupils and staff interact with each other. Pupils discuss opinions that differ to their own sensitively and celebrate the diversity of their school community. As one pupil said, 'A good friend is someone who appreciates you for who you are.' Pupils' education extends far beyond the classroom. For example, trips and visits to places such as the farm, the local market, the theatre and museums enhance their learning of the curriculum. Pupils enjoy a range of adventurous activities in their forest school sessions. Through these experiences, they learn skills such as resilience, teamwork and perseverance.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes, teachers do not check and address gaps and misconceptions in pupils' knowledge and understanding of the concepts taught. This means that some pupils do not learn as well as they could. The school should ensure that all staff are well trained to check and make sure that all pupils, including those with SEND, secure the important knowledge they need to learn and remember well in all subjects.
- A significant minority of pupils do not attend school often enough. This means that they miss out on important learning and vital school experiences. The school should ensure that its ongoing work leads to high levels of attendance for all pupils.
