What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 20 September 2023

Pupils are happy and enjoy school. This is a warm, welcoming and inclusive place. Pupils are caring and celebrate differences. Pupils and staff are proud to be part of the school. Pupils said that they felt safe. They know that staff care about them. Pupils value the wide range of support that adults offer them. Staff support pupils to come to school regularly which helps them to mostly attend well. Pupils behave well. Leaders have high expectations of all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils respond to these expectations positively. They follow their school values so that they are considerate of each other. Any concerns are resolved quickly by adults. Pupils are inspired by the broad and interesting curriculum. Pupils participate actively in a variety of opportunities available in the classroom and beyond. They are enthusiastic about taking part in sports, dance and art clubs and learning musical instruments. Pupils spoke positively about the exciting residential experience and visiting galleries and local landmarks. Older pupils welcome the opportunity to support younger children in reading and at play. This helps them to develop a sense of responsibility.

What the school should improve

  • In some subjects, curricular thinking is not coherently planned, sequenced and adapted to meet the needs of all pupils, including those with SEND. This means that some pupils do not always build on what they know and can do. The school should support and train leaders to implement the curriculum fully and ensure teaching adapts learning to meet the needs of all pupils.
  • The playgrounds and the early years outdoor learning space are underdeveloped. This restricts opportunities to maximise children's learning in Reception Year. The school should ensure that the outdoor environment is used effectively to deepen children's learning.
