What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 February 2025
Pupils get off to a great start in their education here. In the early years, children flourish. They settle quickly into school life and learn well. Staff make sure that the children learn the important social and communication skills they need to be successful as they move into key stage 1. Pupils behave well and feel safe. They learn to be confident, kind and helpful. They know the school rules and understand why rules are necessary and important. When playing together at breaktimes, pupils confidently remind each other about the school's behaviour expectations. They play together harmoniously, enjoying their own and adult-led games and activities. Pupils learn and follow routines effectively. For example, children in the early years show great respect for their environment. They tidy up assiduously, taking great care to make their classrooms immaculate, well-organised places. In addition, the school ensures that pupils develop an age-appropriate understanding about keeping themselves safe, including when online. Well-chosen resources and events support pupils to stay mentally and physically healthy. Pupils enjoy regular sessions which help them to understand the positive impact physical activity has on mental well-being. The school also provides interesting opportunities to enhance pupils' learning such as trips to local places of interest.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, the component knowledge that pupils must learn is not clear enough. This means that teachers do not have sufficient guidance about exactly what they need to teach and when they need to teach it. The school needs to refine the curriculum where needed to clarify the component knowledge pupils need to know so that they can build their understanding systematically towards the identified curriculum end points.
- Sometimes, teachers do not design tasks or use the most effective strategies to ensure all pupils learn and remember the important knowledge they need to be ready for their next steps. When this is the case, pupils do not learn as well as they could. The school should develop staff subject and pedagogical knowledge further so that they can support all pupils to achieve well in all subjects.
