What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 July 2023
Pupils love their school. Happy faces fill classrooms and corridors. In the words of the school song that staff and pupils perform together during assemblies, 'everybody's proud to call this school our school'. Pupils achieve well across an exciting and interesting curriculum. This is because leaders have high expectations for their learning. Pupils are highly respectful and tolerant of each other. They ensure everyone feels welcome. Pupils know they are expected to behave well. They know the importance of being 'ready, respectful and safe'. Pupils do not feel concerned by bullying. They know there are caring adults who look out for them and will help them to deal with any challenges they face. Pupils thoroughly enjoy their 'Happy Lunchtimes'. This initiative ensures pupils have something exciting and engaging to do with friends during their break. Dancing to music and popping bubbles are particular favourites. Pupils are appreciative of the wide range of enrichment activities on offer. Many pupils benefit from frequently taking part in the variety of sporting and creative clubs. Pupils' interests in music are fostered from a young age and they enjoy performing to the residents of the nearby care home.
What the school should improve
- Leaders have not yet ensured that the planning of the curriculum in early years prepares children for future learning in all areas. This means that children are not always as well prepared for key stage 1 as they could be. Leaders need to ensure that curriculum planning identifies the key knowledge that children need to learn in readiness for year 1.
- In some subjects, teachers do not always check precisely the knowledge and skills that pupils have learned. This means that they are not always able to adapt planning to address gaps in knowledge. Leaders should make sure that teachers consistently check pupils' understanding in order to make the right adaptations to help pupils achieve well.
