What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 December 2024
The school is welcoming, inclusive and nurturing. The school prioritises pupils' well-being and cares deeply for pupils. As a result, pupils feel happy and safe. The school is ambitious for pupils to achieve well. It provides a broad range of experiences that deepen pupils' understanding. For example, pupils enjoy dressing as evacuees when finding out about life in the Second World War. Children in the early years are eager to visit the market to choose healthy ingredients to make soup. The school provides a wealth of opportunities to develop pupils' talents. Pupils learn sculpture and weaving. They enjoy trying out archery, drama and participating in the choir. Pupils are a credit to the school. They are polite, friendly and sociable. Pupils follow the golden rules, 'Be ready, be safe and be respectful'. They enjoy school and have consistently positive attitudes to their learning. Parents typically comment that the school goes above and beyond for their children and helps them to thrive.
What the school should improve
- In a minority of subjects, the school does not routinely check if pupils have secured the knowledge and skills they need for future learning. As a result, some pupils, including pupils with SEND, have gaps in their learning. The school should embed rigorous assessment in all subjects, to enable staff to identify and address any gaps in learning, so that pupils are consistently supported to achieve their best.
- The school does not check the impact of its actions to support pupils' welfare, attendance and behaviour as thoroughly as it could. As a result, the school does not know what actions are most effective for pupils. The school should check the effectiveness of its work to support pupils and to assure itself that actions are making a positive difference.
