What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 5 December 2023

This is a happy, inclusive and nurturing school where pupils behave well. Everyone feels safe and highly valued. Leaders and governors have high ambitions for all. Expectations are realised through an engaging curriculum with school values at the heart of learning. Pupils achieve highly across reading, writing and mathematics. Some wider subjects are less well developed, but leaders have identified the required actions to build success for all. Pupils are proud of their leadership roles, such as play leader, prefect, reading champion and head student. Pupils show care towards their environment and those around them. Through the parable of the Good Samaritan, pupils are taught to care for their neighbour, even when there are differences. Diversity in books and regular celebrations such as 'languages day' enrich pupils' world knowledge. A wide range of club opportunities offer something for everyone, including choir, cookery, football and French. Leaders ensure that disadvantaged pupils are strongly represented, so nobody misses out. Pastoral care is a strength. From the nurture breakfast to therapeutic sessions at lunchtime, help is always there when pupils need it. Pupils speak fondly of the support they receive from the school counsellor and emotional literacy staff. Parents say that the school goes 'above and beyond' to help their children.

What the school should improve

  • The work given to pupils does not always enable them to achieve the aims and ambitions of the curriculum. This means that pupils may not learn and remember key knowledge. The school must ensure that lesson activities are designed to help pupils understand and recall key knowledge across all subjects.
  • Some feedback to pupils does not accurately identify misconceptions. As a result, pupils do not consistently know how to improve their work. The school should ensure that teachers use assessment to help pupils embed and use knowledge fluently.
