What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 28 March 2023

Pupils are proud of their school and behave well. This is because there are clear routines and expectations in place that are consistently applied by staff. Pupils embody the school's five values of respect, responsibility, honesty, kindness and courage. Bullying is not tolerated. Any incidents that do arise are dealt with swiftly. Pupils trust adults to help them and know that they are listened to when reporting any concerns that they may have. As a result, pupils are happy and kept safe at school. The curriculum is broad and ambitious. When pupils learn something new, the curriculum helps them to make links with what they already know. This means that pupils are well supported to learn more over time. Pupils work hard and produce work of good quality in different subjects. Pupils are typically well prepared for the next stage of their learning. Pupils enjoy the wide range of additional activities on offer. For example, they like attending the fine art club, which offers pupils the opportunity to further practise skills, such as sketching and shading, which have been taught during lessons.

What the school should improve

  • Some staff in key stage 2 have not received training to implement the new phonics programme. This means that older pupils learning phonics do not have sufficiently well- targeted opportunities to practise and embed the sounds that they are learning during targeted interventions. Leaders must ensure that all staff receive the planned training so that pupils receive consistent support to develop as fluent and confident readers.
  • In some subjects, teaching activities do not match the ambition of the planned curriculum. This reduces how well and consistently pupils secure the expected knowledge and understanding. Leaders should ensure that the planned curriculum is implemented consistently so that pupils deepen their understanding in different subjects across the school.
