What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 30 November 2022

Pupils enjoy attending this school. They are keen to talk about their learning in all the different subjects that they study. Leaders believe that their pupils have 'endless potential', and it is their duty to give pupils 'limitless opportunities'. Teachers have high expectations of all pupils. Pupils are familiar with the 'learner code'. This encourages them to demonstrate the school's values. Pupils describe the school as a kind place. They know their teachers do not tolerate bullying. Pupils feel safe. Year 6 pupils wear a different uniform to the rest of the school. They explain that this helps them stand out as role models to younger pupils. It also helps them prepare for their transition to secondary school. Pupils accept those who might be different to themselves. Leaders help pupils celebrate different religious events by decorating the school hall for occasions such as Diwali and Hannukah. Pupils, parents and carers agree the school is going from strength to strength. One parent summed up the views of many when they said: 'It really feels like the school is a community again and that the children are in an environment where they are able to learn.'

What the school should improve

  • A small number of foundation subjects have been replanned. Teachers are in the early stages of teaching these plans to pupils. Pupils do not yet demonstrate the depth of knowledge in these subjects as they do in other subjects. Leaders should ensure that these new subject plans are as well embedded in the curriculum as all other subject plans.
  • The targets for some pupils with SEND are not as precise as they could be. This means that some of these pupils do not achieve as well as they could. Leaders must ensure that the targets set for all pupils with SEND are precise so they can achieve the best possible outcomes.
  • Some pupils are absent from school too often. They do not benefit from the well- planned curriculum that leaders have developed. Leaders must ensure that attendance for those pupils who are persistently absent continues to improve.
