What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 31 October 2023
This is a school where pupils are happy. The atmosphere is calm. Pupils are engaged. They attend school regularly and behave well in their lessons. Staff set high expectations. Pupils are well cared for and say that staff are kind. Pupils feel comfortable talking to an adult in school if they have any concerns, and they rightly trust that an adult will act to keep them safe and help them navigate any friendship issues. Pupils are proud to follow the school's 'RANGER' values, which include a focus on positive behaviours, such as resilience, adaptability and resourcefulness. They appreciate the rewards they can earn for kindness and helping others, as well as for trying their best in lessons. Pupils embrace opportunities to lead. They take these roles seriously. Eco warriors proudly contribute to the upkeep of the school environment, and lunchtime helpers are happy to support younger pupils at lunchtime. All pupils enjoy frequent outdoor learning in the forest on the school site. The school is ambitious for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). All pupils benefit from a well-designed curriculum and achieve well. Pupils enjoy learning, and they are keen to participate fully in lessons.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, assessment is not used routinely to check what pupils have learned. As a result, future teaching does not build precisely enough on what pupils know. The school should ensure that assessment is used consistently well across all subjects to match future learning to what pupils know and understand.
- Learning activities in the early years are not always as effective as they need to be. This means that children sometimes miss out on opportunities to develop key skills. The school needs to ensure that the planned curriculum is delivered consistently well across the early years, so that children are suitably prepared for their key stage 1 learning.
