What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 12 January 2023
Pupils get a good deal at this welcoming and inclusive school. They say that they enjoy school and are happy and safe here. Overall, pupils behave well. This includes during break and lunchtimes. Pupils are confident that staff deal with any rare instances of bullying quickly and fairly. Staff have high expectations for all pupils. This includes those pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Staff know the pupils and the local community extremely well. Consequently, pupils and their families receive extra help or support promptly. There are many opportunities for pupils to develop their talents and interests. There are sports, music, gardening and cookery clubs. Pupils benefit from a variety of visitors to school and from trips out to local places of interest. 'Fabulous Fridays' and 'Well-being Wednesdays' enable pupils to raise money for charities. They also learn new skills such as yoga and relaxation techniques. The vast majority of parents hold positive views of the school. One comment which sums up the school's ethos was: 'Not only do they teach the children academic things, they also teach them how to be good people and good friends.'
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, the exact content that leaders want pupils to learn, and when, is not as precise as it could be. Teachers are not always clear about the exact knowledge, skills and vocabulary that they should be teaching. Leaders should ensure that all subjects are well designed and sequenced so that teachers are left in no doubt as to what they should be teaching and when they should be teaching it.
- Some pupils do not attend school frequently enough. Others are persistently absent. Consequently, this small number of pupils are missing valuable learning. Leaders should ensure that these pupils attend school every day so that learning time is not lost.
