What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 18 July 2023
Pupils enter school each day with big smiles on their faces. They said that they felt happy in school. They enjoy the benefits of a close-knit school community. Relationships between staff and pupils are respectful and supportive. This helps pupils to feel safe. Parents and carers commented positively about the support that their children receive. Pupils behave well. In the early years, children are friendly and polite. They play well together and they learn to take turns. Leaders deal with any incidents of bullying swiftly and effectively. Leaders expect the best of pupils' achievement. Pupils listen attentively in class, follow teachers' instructions diligently and, in the main, they achieve well across the curriculum. Leaders ensure that pupils are well informed about life in modern Britain. Pupils have a clear understanding of what it means to be part of a diverse society. They understand how they can play an active role in the community. Pupils learn about different cultures and religions. They are accepting of those who are different to themselves. Leaders design many opportunities for pupils to contribute to school life. For example, pupils elect their peers to act as captains of each of the school houses. Pupil chaplains contribute regularly to assemblies. The reading ambassadors help to keep the library organised and to promote a love of reading among their peers. Those pupils who act as play leaders devise different games to keep younger pupils active at social times.
What the school should improve
- From time to time, in a small number of subjects, some teachers do not always choose the most appropriate activities to help pupils to build securely on earlier learning. This hinders how well pupils learn in these subjects. Leaders should ensure that teachers are supported to choose activities that are clearly linked to the curriculum aims.
- Some staff do not receive sufficient information from leaders about the needs of a small number of pupils with SEND. As a result, a very small number of pupils with SEND are not supported well by staff to achieve as well as they should. Leaders should ensure that staff have the information that they need to adapt learning for pupils with SEND.
