What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 11 July 2023

The values of live, learn and flourish are woven through daily life at this school. They are well understood by all members of the school community. Leaders have high expectations of what pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), can achieve. Staff encourage everyone to do their best. Pupils behave well in lessons and around the school. They have a firm understanding of the school rules and what staff expect of them. Pupils demonstrate respect for each other and staff. They know what it means to be a good friend. Leaders are committed to providing a wide range of opportunities for pupils. A farm trip linked to a geography unit on growing, and cookery, wildlife and recorder clubs are just some of the activities on offer. The school's 'CHIP' (Children in Partnership) council, in which peers vote, comprises members who enjoy representing their classes and having a say in their school. Older pupils talk excitedly about their 'big buddy/little buddy' partnerships with younger pupils and how they enjoy sharing books together. This helps develop a real sense of community and shared love for reading at the school.

What the school should improve

  • In some wider curriculum subjects, assessment systems are not fully embedded and do not reflect the new curriculum that is in place. This means that leaders do not have an accurate picture of pupils' understanding. Leaders need to fully embed assessment systems in all subjects so that they are confident about what pupils know and can do.
  • Systems for leaders' monitoring of the implementation of SEND support are at the early stages. Leaders' knowledge of the impact of provision lacks clarity in some cases. Leaders must check that strategies to support pupils with SEND are having the desired impact.
