What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 6 June 2023
Pupils feel safe and happy at this school. Leaders have created a culture in which pupils respect one another and those who may be different from themselves. The school values are central to pupils' experience of daily school life. Those values include peace, humility, trust, service and compassion. Pupils learn about what the values mean and put them into practice. The collective worship council, for example, develops ways of making collective worship more inclusive for all pupils. Staff listen to pupils and respond to their ideas and suggestions. Leaders have high expectations of pupils' behaviour. Pupils behave well. They trust that staff will deal with any instances of poor behaviour or rare instances of bullying. Pupils share any worries they have with staff. Children in the early years form trusting relationships with staff. Leaders have ensured that pupils can access opportunities beyond the curriculum they study in the classroom. Pupils sing in the choir and join in with multi-sports and gardening clubs. Children in the Reception class regularly visit the local library. Pupils take up leadership opportunities by becoming members of the school council and sports leaders. They look after one another as members of the well-being club.
What the school should improve
- Teachers do not always precisely check all pupils' understanding to identify and address misconceptions effectively. As a result, there are occasions when teachers do not help pupils to move on to new learning or help pupils build on their learning as securely as they could. Leaders should ensure that teachers understand how best to recognise and resolve pupils' misconceptions as they arise.
