What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 30 April 2024

Parents and carers, teachers and governors all describe the school as one big family. Pupils have positive relationships with each other and the adults in the building. Children in early years interact with maturity and respect. They are enthusiastic about their learning, and speak confidently about what they are learning now and what they have learned in the past. Staff have extremely high expectations for all pupils' achievement and behaviour. Pupils know the school rules of 'ready, respectful and safe'. Pupils behave well. Most pupils achieve high outcomes at the end of key stage 2 in reading, writing and mathematics. At the end of Year 1, a very high number of pupils achieve the expected standard in phonics. Pupils are well prepared for the next stage of education. Pupils feel safe in school. They have trusted adults, or the 'worry monster', to talk to if they have any concerns. Pupils understand that making 'marvellous mistakes' is part of learning. This helps them to be resilient learners. Pupils learn about healthy relationships. They can talk confidently about different religions and the characteristics of each. Pupils enjoy coming to school.

What the school should improve

  • In a small number of foundation subjects, teachers do not assess pupils' progress against the curriculum outcomes. As a result, sometimes, teachers do not identify and respond to misconceptions as fully as they do in other subjects. The school should ensure that its approach to assessment is fully developed and implemented in these subjects.
