What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 15 November 2023
Pupils thrive at this friendly, happy school. The school's ethos, 'a place where children love, learn and grow together', is at the heart of the curriculum. This ethos influences everything that happens from the moment children start school. Pupils talk knowledgably about the values they are taught and how they live by them. They value and respect each other. Pupils explained how although people may have different points of view this did not stop them from being friends. Recent changes to the early reading and mathematics curriculums are helping pupils to achieve well. They work hard in lessons and respond well to teachers' demands of them. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive the support they need. They are fully included in the life of the school. Pupils' behaviour in lessons and around school is good. They respond well to adults' expectations. Pupils say bullying is rare and they know staff will deal with it quickly if it does happen. Pupils benefit from many opportunities to involve themselves in after-school clubs and in the wider community. Many parents comment positively on the support staff provide for them and their children.
What the school should improve
- In some foundation subjects, pupils cannot recall what they have been taught as effectively as they should. The school should ensure that the curriculum for each subject provides regular opportunities for pupils to recall and practise learning to help them to remember important learning.
- The school's ambitions for pupils are not consistently reflected in the quality of pupils' written work. The school should take further action to raise staff expectations for the quality and presentation of pupils' written work.
