What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 27 June 2023
Pupils are happy in school. A sentiment shared by many is that there is a friend for everyone at this school. Pupils enjoy helping others and taking care of the school. They willingly take on additional responsibilities. For example, at breaktimes, anti- bullying ambassadors help pupils sort out any problems that may arise. Pupils in Year 5 take on the role of 'buddy' to pupils in Year 2 in the federated infant school. This helps pupils in the infant school prepare to move up to the junior school smoothly. Typically, pupils live up to leaders' high expectations for behaviour. They behave appropriately both in class and around the school. If any bullying occurs, leaders deal with it swiftly and effectively. Leaders want all pupils to benefit from everything that the school has to offer, including residential educational visits. They provide many wider opportunities for pupils, including a range of clubs such as sewing and dance. Leaders make sure that all pupils who attend sports clubs also take part in inter-school competitions.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, knowledge is not sequenced as effectively as in others and important changes in curriculum thinking have not been made explicit to teachers. As a result, sometimes, teaching does not emphasise the most important information. Leaders must complete the development of all subjects and provide training for staff to implement the curriculum effectively.
