What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 July 2024
Pupils flourish in this nurturing and welcoming school where everyone matters and is treated equally. Pupils are safe and happy, knowing that trusted adults will help them if they have any concerns. Staff have very high expectations of all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). A sense of belonging and pride is fostered across the school. Pupils work hard and achieve highly, including in national assessments. They are well prepared for the next stage of their education. Teachers build strong relationships with pupils, which allows them to thrive. This begins in early years, where children learn to cooperate and take turns, enjoying the range of activities available to them. Staff use consistent routines and procedures to support pupils to behave well. Pupils show kindness and respect for each other, both during lessons and at playtimes. The development of pupils' character is a strong feature of school life. The school provides a range of leadership opportunities for pupils. Pupils speak with enthusiasm about their roles. They know their voice is listened to and valued. The school provides a broad set of experiences outside of the classroom to enrich the curriculum, such as educational visits and fundraising activities.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of foundation subjects, the curriculum has been revised and is still becoming embedded. On occasion, gaps in pupils' prior knowledge in these areas are not as swiftly identified or addressed. As a result, the depth of some pupils' knowledge and understanding in these subjects is not as secure. The school should continue its work to fully implement and embed recent curriculum changes and ensure that any gaps in pupils' prior knowledge are identified and addressed.
