What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 6 February 2024
Respect for others underpins the warm relationships between pupils and staff at this welcoming school. Pupils value the different faiths, cultures and families that make up modern day Britain. This understanding helps to create a school where pupils are happy and everyone is made to feel welcome regardless of their differences. The school has high expectations of the achievement of all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Many pupils join the school part way through their primary education. At whatever point a pupil becomes part of the school, there is an ambition for them to succeed and many pupils achieve well. Pupils are keen to follow adult's instructions. They behave well. Those pupils that need extra help in managing their emotions are ably supported by caring and nurturing staff. Being part of this tight-knit community is important to pupils. They place a high value on their friendships. Older pupils enjoy having responsibilities, such as being playground buddies to pupils in key stage 1. Pupils also go to great lengths to raise funds for charities that support members of the armed forces and their families.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, some teachers do not implement the curriculum as the school intends. In these subjects, some pupils do not achieve as well as they should. The school should ensure that teachers deliver the subject curriculums effectively so that pupils learn the knowledge that they need to achieve well.
- Some pupils do not attend school often enough. This limits how well they learn. The school should develop effective systems to monitor the absence of different groups of pupils and provide intervention in a timely manner.
