What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 30 April 2024
Leaders have developed a friendly and welcoming school community. Pupils are happy, resilient and eager to learn. The school is ambitious for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils achieve well in their learning. This is reflected in published outcomes in national assessments. Pupils, staff and parents and carers are very proud of their school. Pupils have a range of opportunities to take up responsibility. For example, they help younger pupils at breaktimes and support leaders with delivering the collective worship programme. Relationships between staff and pupils are respectful. This results in a harmonious learning environment in which pupils' well-being flourishes. Behaviour is positive across the school. Pupils are kind to and support each other, including when learning. They feel cared for and safe, and know that if they have concerns or worries an adult will listen to them. Bullying is rare and, if it happens, teachers deal with it quickly. The school ensures that pupils gain valuable life experiences. For instance, all Year 6 pupils visit the Royal Courts of Justice, which helps them to understand democracy and the law. Leaders take on board pupils' suggestions about the clubs that they would like to attend and provide a wide range, including football, basketball, choir and crochet. These are well taken up.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes, the school's ambitious curriculum is not implemented as the school intends. On occasion, teaching does not make it clear to pupils how to make appropriate connections within their learning. This means that pupils, including those who are disadvantaged, sometimes do not understand what they are learning in sufficient depth to recall it readily and make sense of new concepts later. The school needs to ensure that teaching supports all pupils to learn the curriculum in the intended depth.
