What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 29 November 2023
Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), genuinely enjoy belonging to this small and nurturing school. They show high levels of care towards each other. Pupils welcome people of different faiths, cultures and disabilities. They work and play together in harmony. Pupils, including children in the early years, are happy and they feel safe. They know that staff are there to help them if they have any worries or concerns. Pupils share warm and respectful relationships with staff and with their peers. The school has high expectations for pupils' achievement and for their behaviour. The majority of pupils achieve highly and they are well prepared for key stage 3. Pupils also behave sensibly and they engage well in their learning. Pupils enjoy a wide range of experiences beyond the academic curriculum. They contribute to decision-making in the school through their roles as school councillors, eco-warriors and play leaders. One recent example was pupils' considerable involvement in the redesign of the school playground. Pupils particularly enjoy going on trips and residentials to Ironbridge and to York. Through these meaningful learning experiences, pupils enhance their knowledge and understanding of important places.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, there is too much curriculum content for pupils to know and remember. This means that some pupils may not develop the depth of understanding that they should about essential concepts. It may prevent some pupils from building a rich body of knowledge over time. Leaders should define the essential knowledge that they want pupils to learn across the curriculum. This is so that pupils have a sufficiently secure foundation on which to build new learning.
- In a few subjects, assessment systems are underdeveloped. This hinders how well some teachers check that pupils have retained earlier learning. The school should finalise its systems to assess pupils' learning in these remaining subjects. This is so that pupils have secure foundations on which to build new learning.
