What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 19 September 2023

Pupils benefit greatly from attending this school. 'Do the little things well' is more than just a motto. It is the thread that runs through the work of this school. Trust leaders, school leaders and other staff are united in their determination to ensure that pupils thrive. They have created a very positive learning environment. Pupils like school. They are happy, safe and enjoy learning. Bullying is very unusual and happens rarely. Pupils trust staff to look after them if they have any problems. Pupils are confident and polite. They behave in a friendly and respectful manner towards other pupils and with adults. Pupils experience a rich curriculum, which aims to make their transition to secondary school seamless. In some subjects, they develop an impressive depth of understanding. This makes them particularly enthusiastic. Their joy at talking about geography, for instance, is palpable. In all subjects, pupils receive a carefully thought out curriculum offer that supports their learning. The school has done much to ensure that parents are involved in their children's education. Parents appreciate this and value the chance to work with their children in school. Parents and pupils value the care and support the school provides.

What the school should improve

  • The school does not check pupils' long-term recall of key concepts in some subjects. Consequently, the school does not adapt the curriculum to help pupils revisit new learning and address any misconceptions. The school should make sure that in each subject, purposeful assessment is used to support pupils to embed and build knowledge over time.
  • Leaders have not reviewed how well adults teach the new curriculums in some foundation subjects. They do not know which staff need more help to deliver the subject content well. Leaders should ensure they know which aspects of the new curriculums teachers need help with to ensure that, in all subjects, pupils develop the impressive knowledge they currently do in some.
