What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 29 March 2022
Pupils and staff 'believe and achieve together' at this inclusive school. Pupils say that they are happy and safe here. They behave well. Low-level disruption is extremely rare. Staff deal swiftly with any bullying or falling-out between pupils. Pupils have positive attitudes to school. They work hard. Relationships between pupils and staff are warm and positive. Leaders and staff have high expectations for all pupils. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils are encouraged to have 'character muscles'. They learn to be, for example, resilient, compassionate, patient and respectful. Pupils particularly enjoy learning musical instruments, like the ukulele and djembe drums. There are a variety of activities that help to develop pupils' talents and interests. These include swimming, cooking, singing and various sports clubs. Pupils take on different roles and responsibilities, including as house captains, lunchtime monitors and members of the democratically elected school council. Pupils enjoy these roles and take them seriously. The majority of parents have positive views of the school. One comment, typical of many, was: 'This school is a lovely place for my children to be. I only wish they could stay here for longer!'
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, the precise knowledge and vocabulary that leaders want pupils to learn, and by when, is not as clear as it could be. Leaders should ensure that there is a clarity and preciseness around the knowledge and vocabulary that they want pupils to learn, and by when, across these subjects, from the early years through to Year 6.
- Pupils' knowledge of faiths and cultures that are different to their own is not as strong as it should be. Pupils are therefore not as well prepared for life in modern Britain as they could be. Leaders should ensure that pupils have an appropriate understanding of faiths and cultures that are different to their own, therefore being better prepared for life in modern Britain.
