What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 29 November 2022
At this school, pupils, and children in the early years, flourish in an environment where they feel happy and safe. Pupils are confident to express their views to others. They talk about world issues, such as human rights, with maturity. Leaders expect pupils and children to conduct themselves impeccably. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. Children in the early years share and take turns. Pupils and children are considerate, polite and well-mannered. Pupils display high levels of respect towards each other and towards adults. Relationships between adults and pupils are exceptionally strong. Bullying is not tolerated. Pupils said that staff deal with any incidents of bullying or unkind behaviour immediately. This creates a harmonious learning environment. Pupils enjoy the wide range of opportunities on offer to develop their interests and talents. These include art, music and football clubs. Pupils said that they enjoy singing in the choir and representing the school at local community events. Pupils benefit from opportunities to take on leadership roles and to work as a team. For example, older pupils enjoy the responsibility of leading the school's weekly council meetings. These capture the views and opinions of other pupils. Teachers are ambitious for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils rise to this challenge and they achieve well.
What the school should improve
- In one or two subjects, leaders have not identified the essential knowledge that pupils must learn and by when. This hinders some pupils from learning all that they could. Leaders should finalise their curriculum thinking so that staff know exactly what to teach in all subjects.
- For some children and pupils, the books that they read are not well matched to the sounds that they are learning. This prevents some pupils from becoming proficient in reading as quickly as they could. Leaders must ensure that books that pupils read match the sounds that pupils are learning.
