What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 22 October 2024
Pupils are caring and thoughtful at this nurturing village school. They feel safe and know that teachers will deal with any concerns they have. Pupils know the school's rules, and teachers apply them consistently well. This helps pupils to behave well and encourage others to behave well too. This begins in early years, where children quickly learn school routines. The school is a calm and happy place, where pupils have a clear love of learning. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), work hard to meet the high expectations of teachers. Classrooms are busy and purposeful. They are alive with the sound of learning. Pupils listen thoughtfully to their teachers and work together cooperatively. As a result, pupils learn the skills and knowledge they need. Staff encourage pupils to set ambitious future goals. Pupils enjoy visits from a range of adults who discuss their jobs. The school enhances this with a range of activities. For example, pupils enjoy engineering days at local theme parks. They learn about a range of careers at annual citizenship events. The school also offers specific sessions on aspiration for pupils from Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities. Consequently, pupils have high ambitions they are keen to share.
What the school should improve
- In some lessons, teachers do not use assessment effectively to identify pupils' gaps in learning. As a result, teachers cannot always plan activities or interventions that fill gaps in pupils' knowledge or improve specific skills swiftly. The school must ensure that assessment for all pupils identifies gaps in learning accurately and allows teachers to plan activities that help pupils catch up quickly.
