What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 November 2024
This is a happy and welcoming school where pupils are safe. Parents and carers value the high-quality pastoral support that the school provides for their children's well-being. Many would recommend the school to others. As one parent, reflecting the view of many said: 'The school has a lovely family feel when you enter it'. The school ensures that its ambitious curriculum provides purposeful opportunities and experiences which stretch pupils' thinking and deepen their knowledge. The school ensures that the curriculum is interesting and enjoyable. External trips, such as to a space centre linked with science, enthuse pupils. Pupils achieve well and enjoy their learning in all areas. Pupils are sociable and confident. They are good friends to each other. Pupils understand and respond well to the school's high expectations for behaviour. Occasional small reminders from staff ensure that pupils make good behaviour choices. Pupils understand and act on the school's values and the positive ethos of care that the school promotes. Pupils have high regard for the school's value of 'respect'. Everyone is welcome here. The school's 'equality code' and its inclusive ethos nurtures pupils' positive attitudes. Pupils are respectful of the fact that people have a range of diverse beliefs. Difference is celebrated and discrimination in any form is not tolerated.
What the school should improve
- Some subject curriculums are not yet fully implemented. The curriculum ambition of what will be learned and understood in all subjects is not fully realised. This means that pupils have some gaps in their prior knowledge and do not build or deepen their understanding fully and securely. The school should embed the curriculum effectively so that pupils build on their prior understanding securely in all subjects.
- Teachers do not consistently address errors in some pupils' knowledge and understanding of the concepts taught. This means that sometimes pupils do not learn as well as they could. The school should support staff to use effective strategies to address any gaps and misconceptions consistently and so ensure that pupils' knowledge and understanding is secure in all areas.
