What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 2 November 2022

Pupils are happy and safe in this nurturing environment. They are supported by adults that care for them well. Pupils appreciate the many opportunities on offer, such as musical instrument tuition. They are proud of their school and strive to make it even better. For example, every pupil in Year 6, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), takes on a leadership role. Leaders make sure that pupils study a wide range of subjects. They expect pupils to work hard and produce work of a high quality, and they do. Pupils are encouraged to contribute positively to society and encourage others to do the same. For example, they enjoy looking after the environment beyond their school gates and visiting residents at the local care home. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. They are polite and welcoming to all. Bullying is uncommon. School council members are currently involved in making a video to make sure that everyone understands what bullying is and what it is not. If bullying does occur, adults resolve incidents quickly, making sure that all those involved understand the steps taken. Parents and carers view the school positively. They typically said that their children are happy and well looked after. They value the 'buddy' programme and how this supports positive interactions between older and younger pupils.

What the school should improve

  • Leaders train and support staff to deliver the systematic synthetic phonics programme as intended. As a result, most staff have the expertise to help pupils learn to read well. In a small number of cases, pupils are not having mispronunciations corrected quickly enough, or reading books consistently well- matched to the sounds they know. Leaders should continue to strengthen all staff's expertise in teaching phonics to ensure that all pupils learn to read quickly and fluently.
