What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 6 February 2024
Pupils are polite, respectful and courteous. They are proud of their school and they want to do well. Pupils care about each other. They believe that everyone should be treated fairly. The school motto 'Bring it' is well understood by pupils. Through bringing 'courage, friendship and creativity', they know how to be successful. All achievements are celebrated. The school, with support from the trust, has improved the quality of education since the previous inspection. As a result, there are now high expectations for all pupils to learn well across the curriculum. This starts in the early years where children get off to a strong start. Here, children explore the world around them with curiosity. Pupils' personal development is a strength. The school promotes character development as well as a sense of responsibility. Pupils know their voice matters. For example, leadership roles enable pupils to make a difference, such as the promotion of fund-raising events. Pupils know how to keep themselves safe. Visits from the local police helps them learn about road safety. This supports pupils, with the help of staff, when crossing the road carefully to access the playground.
What the school should improve
- Some staff have not developed the depth of subject knowledge needed to deliver the curriculum in all subjects effectively. As a result, some pupils do not build their knowledge in these subjects as well as they do in others. The trust must ensure they continue to develop staff expertise to teach all aspects of the curriculum well.
- Within a minority of subjects, some pupils make repeated errors in their writing that go unaddressed. As a result, some pupils embed misconceptions. The trust must ensure that expectations of writing are consistently high across the curriculum.
