What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 15 February 2023
This school has a real community feel. Care, nurture and pupils' well-being are at the heart of what happens here. Leaders have high ambitions for every pupil, including disadvantaged pupils and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), and want all to be the best they can be. Staff work hard to help pupils overcome any barriers to learning and regularly support families. Children are a delight to speak to. They are courteous, welcoming and friendly. They enjoy learning. The positive and respectful relationships between adults and pupils are clear. Pupils describe teachers as caring, helpful and friendly. The school is a calm environment where pupils do well. Pupils' behaviour is good. They say that everyone gets on and that bullying is not tolerated. If it ever happens, pupils know that all staff would deal with it quickly and effectively. Leaders have emphasised pupils' personal development. Pupils benefit from a wide range of activities that develop their personalities and further their interests and talents. The many activities include external visitors, trips, residentials and after-school clubs. Pupils enjoy these, and leaders ensure that all pupils, including disadvantaged pupils and those with SEND, can take part.
What the school should improve
- Some teachers do not use assessment effectively enough to check what pupils have learned. Sometimes they move learning on too quickly and gaps in pupils' knowledge and misconceptions are not addressed. Leaders should ensure that teachers use assessment consistently well to check pupils' understanding before moving learning on.
- Attendance is below where leaders want it to be. This means that some pupils miss too much learning time. Leaders should ensure they engage effectively with all parents so that they value the importance of and support regular attendance.
