What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 June 2024
Pupils are proud to attend this school. They are polite and well behaved. They talk with pride about how everyone is welcome at their school. Older pupils learn the importance of responsibility through supporting younger pupils. For example, they run games at lunchtimes and read to others in the well-stocked reading sheds. They are proud of these responsibilities. The school has raised expectations of what pupils can achieve. Pupils are keen to work towards these aspirations and try hard in class. They really enjoy their learning and talk with enthusiasm about the different activities they have taken part in. They benefit from a well-planned programme of trips and visitors that helps enhance their learning. Pupils are safe and well cared for. The relationships between staff and pupils are strong. Pupils develop positive attitudes to learning, sharing, and playing with peers, right from the start as a result of clear expectations and routines.
What the school should improve
- As a result of the limitations of the way the curriculum was taught in the past, some pupils have gaps where they have not retained previous knowledge. This makes it harder for them to deepen their knowledge when introduced to new learning. The school needs to ensure that long-term teaching ensures that all pupils have deeper understanding of what they are taught, so that even more pupils meet or exceed expected standards across all subjects.
