What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 27 June 2024

The school starts teaching children about their high expectations for positive behaviour from the early years foundation stage. If necessary, staff facilitate circle talks between pupils to restore relationships. The school has an impressive outdoor area where pupils play at lunch and playtime. Pupils access a varied and extensive selection of play equipment. For example, pupils of all ages play together on wheeled toys and in a water area. There is a mud kitchen and pupils enjoy relaxing in the reading tent. This helps to build strong relationships between younger and older pupils. Pupils understand and respect the school's behaviour ladder. They consider moving down the ladder for making poor choices a fair sanction. Pupils attend residentials in Year 4 and Year 6 to develop independence, team building skills and to take considered risks. The school provides pupils with educational visits linked to the curriculum. For example, Year 6 visit Bempton Cliffs as part of their geography field trip. Pupils in Year 3 enjoy learning to play a brass instrument. Year 5 pupils speak positively about their participation in a trust opera. The school prioritises a love of reading to bring joy to pupils and families. For example, the community book swap area in the school entrance puts reading at the heart of the school.

What the school should improve

  • The school has identified too much essential knowledge that they want pupils to remember in the wider curriculum. This means there are some inconsistencies in what is being emphasised by teachers as important knowledge. The school recognises it needs to clearly identify the most important knowledge to ensure that pupils are recalling the right learning to build on.
  • The school's monitoring of the curriculum has not been rigorous enough. This hampers its ability to identify successes and areas for improvement. The school should strengthen their oversight of the curriculum.
