What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 September 2023
Pupils enjoy being a part of this nurturing school where everyone is valued. Pupils meet the high expectations that the school sets for their achievement. They are confident and proud to talk about their learning. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well during their time at the school. The school's behaviour systems are clear. There is a calm and orderly environment where pupils are happy and thrive. Pupils, including children in the early years, feel safe and secure. They have a trusted adult whom they can go to if they have a worry. Pupils are tolerant and respectful towards adults and towards each other. They are proud of the school's diverse pupil community. They are keen to welcome new friends from all over the world. Pupils who begin at the school from other countries settle quickly. Staff support these pupils well in learning the English language and in accessing the wider curriculum. Pupils enjoy the range of enrichment opportunities on offer. For example, they attend after-school and lunchtime clubs. These activities include multisports, band ensemble and drama club. Staff also encourage pupils to broaden their talents and interests by accessing local cricket, tennis and art clubs in the community.
What the school should improve
- The curriculum is in development in some subjects in key stages 1 and 2. This means that sometimes teachers are unclear about what pupils need to know to be able to build on previous learning. The school should finalise its curriculum thinking. This is so that, in all subjects, pupils build a secure body of subject knowledge over time.
- The school's work to establish an effective assessment system is in the early stages of implementation in some subjects. This means that teachers' checks on what pupils know are not as effective as they could be. The school should refine its assessment systems to ensure that pupils know and remember more over time.
