What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 June 2022
Pupils say that school is a happy and safe place to be. They can talk to their teachers if they have a worry. Their teachers help them to make friends and to care for one another. Bullying is rare and pupils indicate that if they have any friendship issues, the adults help to sort it out. Relationships in classroom and around the school are warm. Pupils enjoy talking about what they have learned. They are proud of their work, and they are proud of what they know. For example, they can confidently identify the bones in the human skeleton and recall their times tables. They concentrate and listen well in class because their teachers have high expectations of them. They appreciate the way that teachers read stories to them in character. The curriculum helps pupils to learn about the wider world and to appreciate different cultures. Pupils have plenty of opportunities to develop their interests and talents. They can sing, play instruments in assemblies, act in plays and learn to swim in the school's swimming pool. They can also take part in competitions that teachers organise for them. Pupils enjoy learning from interesting visitors, and they enjoy going on trips that leaders organise for them, such as visiting a local water sports centre.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, leaders have not yet identified and set out the content to be learned in sufficient detail. Leaders have identified actions to improve these curriculums. Leaders need to ensure their actions for improvement enable pupils to benefit from a high-quality curriculum across all subjects.
- Opportunities for pupils to rehearse new vocabulary are inconsistent. As a result, not all pupils are able to remember and use subject-specific vocabulary. Leaders should ensure that teachers provide more consistent opportunities for pupils to rehearse and use new vocabulary.
- In some subjects, assessment does not help leaders to know how well pupils have remembered the curriculum. This means that leaders cannot identify pupils' gaps in knowledge. Leaders should review the current assessment systems so that more useful information can help teachers identify and address pupils' gaps in knowledge.
