What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 26 September 2023
Pupils are happy to attend this small, nurturing school. They see themselves as part of one big caring family. Pupils embody the school ethos by being kind, respectful and safe. Older pupils look after younger pupils and take pride in being their 'buddies'. From the moment that they start school in Reception class, children are encouraged to let their 'light shine'. The school has high expectations for all pupils' achievement, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils enthusiastically strive to reach these goals. They are avid learners who achieve well. The atmosphere in school is calm and pleasant. Pupils appreciate the school's positive approach to helping them behave well. They are respectful towards each other. Pupils feel that staff care about them. They trust that staff have their well- being in mind. Pupils know that there is someone to go to if they are worried or upset. Pupils have many opportunities to develop beyond their academic achievement. They take on various leadership roles in school, such as play leaders, librarians and house captains. Pupils help to promote the values of the school through acting as ethos councillors.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, teachers do not check whether pupils have learned the intended curriculum as effectively as they should. This means that occasionally pupils' misconceptions go unnoticed. The school should ensure that, in these subjects, teachers are suitably equipped to use assessment strategies consistently well to inform future learning.
