What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 December 2024
Pupils enjoy attending this warm, welcoming and inclusive school. From Nursery onwards, children form strong and trusting relationships with staff. Staff know pupils very well. Pupils know they can talk to staff about any worries or concerns. Pupils feel safe and cared for. The school has high expectations for pupils' achievement and conduct. Pupils live up to these expectations. They are focused, attentive and try hard during learning time. Pupils listen well to their peers' ideas and views. They are keen to share their knowledge during lessons. Children in Nursery quickly learn the routines and expectations well. For instance, they know they have to place their picture card on the table to join in with snack time. During social times, pupils play well together. This makes breaktimes and lunchtimes harmonious. Opportunities to develop talents, interests and responsibilities are integral to the school's provision. Pupils have a strong voice in the school. They influence the wide range of clubs the school offers including yoga, science and computing. Pupils learn how to be a responsible citizen and make a positive contribution. They are proud of the range of responsibilities they hold, including eco councillors, librarians and spiritual leaders. These opportunities help pupils to flourish in their school community and beyond.
What the school should improve
- In some wider curriculum subjects, some pupils do not build knowledge as well as they do in other subjects. Assessment information is not used to identify gaps in what pupils know and remember. The trust should ensure that assessment is used effectively to inform curriculum design, so that pupils build a secure body of knowledge across the curriculum.
