What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 March 2023
The school is a calm and safe place. Staff know pupils and their families well. Parents describe staff as 'caring and nurturing'. Pupils' academic and personal development needs are well met. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Throughout the school day, pupils attend clubs and activities that support their well- being. Some pupils start the day with breakfast and a chat at 'Rainbow Club'. Others go to 'Cosy Club' at lunchtime. Pupils value these opportunities and say staff always help them. Bullying is rare. Pupils know that everyone is different. They say we should all be treated fairly. Pupils enjoy playing together. They particularly like playing in the large sandpit and on tricycles during breaktimes. Most pupils attend school regularly. This sets them up well for their future education. From the beginning, children take part in outdoor learning activities. Children in the early years are happy and inquisitive learners. They like challenges, such as working in a team to collect wood to saw. This helps to build children's resilience and problem-solving skills well. Children learn early on the importance of not giving up when faced with difficulties.
What the school should improve
- Teachers' subject knowledge in some foundation subjects is not secure. This means that teaching is not as effective in these subjects. Leaders need to ensure teachers know the curriculum's essential knowledge in depth so that teaching ensures pupils learn well in all subjects.
- In some subjects, leaders have not set out how they want pupils' learning to be assessed. This means assessment information is not used effectively. It is not used well to help teachers adapt the learning to meet pupils' needs sufficiently. Leaders need to agree on what and how they will assess, and support teachers to use the information to ensure pupils know and remember more.
