What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 5 December 2023
Pupils, including children in the early years, enjoy school. They arrive enthusiastically at the start of the day. Behaviour in lessons and around the school is calm and orderly. Pupils concentrate and have a keen interest in what they are learning. The school sets high expectations for pupils' behaviour. Pupils live up to the school's values of resilience, compassion, respect, honesty, community and responsibility. Pupils get along well at breaktimes. They are mostly kind to each other. Staff sort out any worries swiftly. Pupils, parents and staff appreciate that the school is a safe, nurturing place where relationships are positive. The school helps pupils to develop their interests and talents. Pupils enjoy the visiting after-school zoo club. They are enthusiastic about other clubs like football, multi-sports and choir. Pupils take on positions of responsibility. For example, they can become ethos ambassadors, who plan assemblies and help resolve issues on the playground. Pupils take pride in their efforts to help others, such as running mini- marathons to raise money for charity.
What the school should improve
- The curriculum is not implemented as intended across all subjects. The trust and school have not given enough consideration to how subject curriculums will enable all pupils to be successful. The school must ensure that subject curriculums are fully embedded, so that pupils know and remember more and are well prepared for the next stage of their education.
