What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 16 July 2024
This is a happy, friendly and welcoming community. Pupils said that the school is a good place to be yourself. They feel that school offers a safe space to talk openly, as staff welcome and respect their views and opinions. Pupils also said that they value how staff support their mental well-being. They enjoy the opportunities to learn about difference, including building awareness of a range of cultures. Right from the time children join Reception, the school teaches and continually reinforces the school's values. These include being compassionate, caring and respectful. Pupils behave in a sensible, calm and kind manner. For example, a group of Year 5 pupils give up half their lunchbreak to read with children in Reception. Pupils appreciate the school's restorative approach to their occasional disputes. Staff bring the two parties together to talk and work out a peaceful solution. The school strives to make sure that pupils' academic achievements and social skills are strong. It successfully supports pupils to leave this school well prepared for their secondary education. Pupils cherish the opportunities that they have to represent their peers' voices and to work with the school to make improvements. This includes being ambassadors for children's rights and mental health champions, as well as working to help others in the school community.
What the school should improve
- In a few wider curriculum subjects, the school has not been explicit enough about what knowledge they want pupils to gain. In a few instances, the planned curriculum has not been fully implemented. This means that pupils do not routinely gain as much knowledge as they could across the subjects. The school should continue its work in refining the curriculum to make sure that pupils are taught, in depth, the full range of subject-specific knowledge that they need to gain to achieve their potential.
