What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 July 2024
Pupils are proud of their school community. The school values are the heart of school life and pupils demonstrate respect for each other. Many pupils join at different points in the year. They are well supported to settle. For example, members of the pupil council help new children to understand the school's routines. The school's value of 'Every Individual Matters' is at the heart of curriculum development. Leaders have ensured that the curriculum is accessible for all pupils, including the pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The school provides effective support for pupils with English as an additional language (EAL). Behaviour is positive across the school and pupils know and follow the school rules. Strong foundations start in early years as children learn the expectations and routines. Pupils know that if they have any concerns, they have a trusted adult that they can talk to. Pupils enjoy the wide range of outings and visitors to support their subject understanding. Pupils in Year 6 valued the new learning experiences on their recent camping trip. Pupils are keen to demonstrate their understanding of music and enjoy learning to play instruments. 'Pupil leaders' are proud to represent their school community and know that they make an impact. 'Eco-warriors' recently planted a bee friendly garden, understanding the importance of pollination globally.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the checking of pupils' knowledge and understanding is not precise. Teaching does not focus sharply on ensuring that pupils revisit and, in turn, embed their understanding of important subject content. This limits how well pupils build up and remember knowledge over time. The school needs to ensure that all subject leaders and teachers have the necessary expertise to check pupils' understanding so that they are fully ready for new content.
