What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 November 2024
Pupils thrive at this happy school. It is a safe environment where good relationships and a strong sense of community ensure that every individual is known, valued and encouraged to be their best. Pupils enjoy coming to school because they feel safe and enjoy learning. They are supported to value their individuality, culture and respect for others. Pupils are confident that, if they have any concerns, staff will listen and help them. This helps pupils to feel safe. If pupils have any worries, they can always drop a note in the rucksack of 'Timmy the Trouble Monitor' bear, an idea launched by the pupil-led 'well- being committee'. These worry notes are checked daily by leaders and even the smallest issue is always addressed. Behaviour is positive and pupils show enthusiastic attitudes to learning. They achieve well across a number of subjects. There is a variety of roles of responsibility for pupils, such as 'reading' or 'science ambassadors'. The school provides a well-designed programme of enrichment. Through educational visits, pupils explore the local area and famous landmarks linked to what they learn. For example, pupils spoke with joy about their recent trips to the Science Museum and Rainham Marshes.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes, pupils' knowledge and understanding are not checked effectively. In these instances, some pupils develop gaps and misconceptions in their learning. The school should ensure that assessment is used consistently to check understanding and to identify and address misconceptions.
