What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 28 March 2023
There is a strong sense of togetherness at this school. As the Nursery children recite with their teacher, 'Teamwork makes a dream work!' Leaders and staff work together to provide a caring environment and an ambitious curriculum for all their pupils. From Nursery to Year 6, relationships between pupils and adults are very positive. Staff encourage pupils to aim high in their learning and in the wider experiences of life. Pupils have pledge passports which help them to aspire to 50 different experiences. These range from raising a butterfly to recording a song. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) get support to access the same learning opportunities as other pupils. Pupils are a credit to the school. They behave very well, responding to the high expectations of teachers. There is a calm atmosphere throughout the school. Pupils feel safe and happy. They say that bullying is not a problem at this school. They are confident that staff would deal with it if it happened. Most parents are happy with the school. One parent, typical of many, said, 'I believe this school genuinely puts the children at the heart of their practice.'
What the school should improve
- Pupils' knowledge of fundamental British values and world faiths is not secure. Leaders must ensure that pupils have the necessary knowledge and understanding of British values, different cultures and faiths to help prepare them for life in modern Britain.
- Some parents feel that communication between school and home is not as effective as it could be. They are concerned that leaders do not always respond to issues they raise in a timely manner and do not feel fully informed. Leaders should improve communication systems so that all parents feel fully involved and informed about their children's education.
