What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 27 February 2024
Pupils enjoy attending this school. They describe the school to be a fun place that is inclusive. Pupils say they can speak to someone if they have a concern or a worry. They know they can visit the nurture room to speak to trusted adults. Pupils feel safe and happy here. Staff have high expectations of pupils. Pupils rise to these expectations. They know that the school is trying to help them develop as rounded individuals. This work is rooted in the school's mantra, 'being the best version of you'. Children in the early years get off to the best possible start. Staff in the early years know each child extremely well. They use their knowledge of each child and the early years curriculum to ensure that every moment is spent learning. This means there are no limits or barriers to each child achieving well. The overwhelming majority of parents and carers value what the school does for their children. They value the informal conversations they can have with staff. One parent summed up the views of many when they said, 'My child is excited to learn. He enjoys going to school and he is encouraged to be the best version of himself every day.'
What the school should improve
- A few foundation subjects have recently been adapted across all year groups. These subjects are not as well embedded as other subjects. Pupils do not yet show the depth of understanding in these subjects as they do in other subjects. The school must ensure that as these subjects become further embedded, they monitor and evaluate the impact of teaching to ensure that pupils gain the depth of understanding set out in the curriculum plans.
- In some subjects, teachers do not always check precisely enough if pupils have remembered the important knowledge. Some pupils are left with gaps in their knowledge and are unable to recall some of the essential knowledge they will need for future learning. The school must ensure that teachers check that pupils learn the essential knowledge and address any gaps in knowledge.
