What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 June 2023
This is a happy, nurturing and inclusive school. Leaders have high aspirations for pupils, who follow a rich curriculum. There is a buzz of excited, purposeful learning throughout the school. For example, children in the Nursery enthusiastically explore what happens when they pour water down a piece of guttering. Most pupils understand school expectations and behave well. Pupils are polite and respectful. They hold doors open and learn how to be a good friend. Pupils enjoy receiving rewards, such as 'kindness hearts and stars'. Staff work closely with pupils and families to form supportive relationships. Pupils trust staff and feel safe at school. They confirm that bullying is not tolerated. Pupils are confident that staff will sort out any problems. Pupils learn about the world around them. For instance, they enjoy local walks, woodland activities and visits to places of interest. Many pupils attend school well and on time. However, several pupils are regularly absent. Therefore, they are missing out on all that the school offers. Most parents and carers are happy with the school. They typically comment that pupils are treated as individuals. Parents value the community atmosphere that staff foster.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, leaders have not fully developed the curriculum or evaluated the impact of it on pupils' learning. Where this is the case, pupils do not build up their subject knowledge in sufficient detail. Leaders must assure themselves that sequences of learning and teachers' use of assessment are fully embedded, so that pupils develop the deep knowledge they need to prepare them for what comes next.
- Despite leaders' recent efforts to improve attendance, some pupils are regularly absent. This means that they are missing out on their education. Leaders must continue to work closely with families to highlight the importance of regular attendance, so that pupils can benefit from all that the school has to offer.
