What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 26 September 2023
This is a well-led school where relationships are strong. Learning activities are relevant and pupils find them interesting. For example, pupils in Years 1 and 2 are enthusiastic when sharing their knowledge of the Great Fire of London. Children in the early years enjoy exploring measurement in the outdoor 'bakery'. Pupils are proud of their school and make every effort to do well. As one pupil said, 'I like it when you're doing really hard work and you think yes, I've got it!' Expectations of work and behaviour are high. Pupils behave well. They live out the school's values of kindness, honesty, respect and hard work. They feel happy and safe. Pupils say that if bullying happens, they trust adults to deal with it. They know that they can talk to an adult if anything is worrying them. Staff take great care to meet the needs of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The school makes sure that it includes all pupils in everything that it does. Parents hold the school in high regard. One parent, whose comment was typical of many, said, 'The school is an incredibly welcoming and caring community.'
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, curriculum plans have not yet been fully embedded. As a result, some pupils do not achieve as well as they could in those subjects. The school should continue its work to embed the curriculum so that the impact is seen in all pupils reaching the highest standards of which they are capable.
- Some pupils do not remember the religions they have studied or the fundamental British values they have been taught. The school should ensure that the approach to teaching these aspects of the curriculum is reviewed so that all pupils have an age-appropriate understanding of different religions and the key values that are important in Britain today.
