What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 24 April 2024
Pupils are happy and welcoming at this small, inclusive school. They embody the school vision to 'live life to the full'. Pupils typically behave well. Where a small number of pupils, sometimes with complex needs, require help to regulate their behaviour, they are well supported by staff and other pupils. Pupils rarely experience bullying. Teachers deal with bullying swiftly when it does occur. There are lots of opportunities for pupils to take on positions of responsibility, such as becoming a democratically elected school councillor. Year 6 'buddies' enjoy their opportunities to support their 'buddy' from the Reception class. Eco councillors are proud of their work to introduce recycling bins in every classroom. Pupils have a voice in school. Pupils learn an ambitious curriculum. All pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), enjoy being challenged within the curriculum and achieve well overall. They attain in line with pupils nationally by the time they leave the school. Pupils celebrate diversity. For example, the school has fostered links with a First Nations school in Canada and another school in Nigeria. As a result, pupils have opportunities to learn about citizenship at a global level. This broadens their horizons.
What the school should improve
- The school has not ensured that staff consistently uses the agreed assessment systems to make effective checks on pupils' learning. On occasions, pupils' misconceptions are not rectified in a timely manner. When this happens, these pupils are not as well prepared as they should be to learn new content. The school should ensure that staff address misconceptions quickly enough to ensure pupils achieve as well as they should.
