What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 12 March 2024

Pupils are confident and independent at this aspirational school. They behave well and are thoughtful and considerate of others. Pupils play together joyfully and ensure they include pupils sat on the school's 'friendship bench' in their games. They take personal responsibility for their behaviour and have had their say to create well-designed class rules. Pupils are happy and know that staff will address any worries they may have quickly. Pupils are proud members of the school community and work hard to meet teachers' high expectations. They listen attentively to teachers and concentrate on their work well. Children in Nursery and Reception Year participate excitedly in the engaging activities they choose. For example, when designing obstacle courses for their friends to complete. The school encourages pupils to develop their ambition through a range of inspiring speakers. Pupils learn about the media from a television weather presenter or a variety of other careers, through local business owners. The school enhances this through the wide variety of leadership roles that pupils aspire to. For example, pupils act as young leaders, house captains and digital ambassadors. They also work alongside parent volunteers to run the popular school library. Pupils are rightly proud of the work they do for the school community.

What the school should improve

  • In some subjects, teachers do not plan activities that support pupils in learning key information and vocabulary carefully enough. As a result, pupils do not learn as well as they could and do not retain this important knowledge. Leaders should ensure that they support teachers to plan activities that match the ambitions of the curriculum.
