What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 January 2023
This a school where the ambition for every child to succeed is a priority. The school's vision of 'Everything we do, everything we say, everything we are about must ultimately be for the children' is a golden thread that runs through the school's work. Pupils are proud of their school. They enjoy the enrichment opportunities on offer, especially reading to Fudge, the reading dog. This is an inclusive school that prepares pupils for life in modern Britain. Parents, carers, staff and pupils strongly feel that this school is like a family where everyone is welcome. As one pupil said: 'We are kind of like a family and get to share all our news.' Behaviour across the school is exemplary. Low-level disruption is rare. Pupils are courteous. They hold doors for adults and each other. Pupils enjoy the range of 'jobs' on offer, such as the mini police, house captains, subject ambassadors and representatives on the school council. The pupils are chosen for these roles democratically. Playtimes are social occasions where Year 6 'buddies' support younger children and enjoy being role models. Pupils say that bullying is rare and that when it does happen, it is sorted quickly by adults from 'our school family'. Pupils say that they feel safe.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of lessons, teachers do not carry out precise checks on what pupils already know and can do. Sometimes, pupils spend too long on work that they can already do. This means that some pupils are not progressing as quickly as they might through the curriculum. Leaders should ensure that approaches to assessment consistently assist teachers in determining clear next steps for pupils without causing unnecessary burdens for staff and pupils.
- Leaders are rightly prioritising the development of SEND provision and making the plans more precise. Some pupils need to know their targets more clearly so that they know how to improve. Leaders must build on the work they have already begun and ensure that pupils' targets are evaluated regularly with all stakeholders.
