What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 22 June 2023
Pupils enjoy coming to this welcoming and inclusive community school. There is a family feel to the school. Because of its size, everyone knows and cares for one another. Parents and carers spoke with heartfelt emotion about the positive impact the school has had on their children. Most pupils behave well. The school is typically calm and orderly. At social times, pupils from all year groups play happily together. They respect any differences between them. The new 'sensory garden' provides a quiet space for pupils to socialise and engage with nature. Regular assemblies and lessons ensure pupils understand what bullying is. This means they can report it when it occurs. Pupils know that leaders and staff carefully deal with allegations of bullying. This ensures that pupils receive appropriate support to put a stop to it. Having adults they trust, helps to keep pupils safe at the school. As part of a federation with another school, pupils benefit from opportunities to socialise and learn alongside other children of their own age. This includes, for example, participating in sporting competitions and shared workshops on internet safety.
What the school should improve
- Leaders have not ensured that the curriculum is fully embedded in some subjects. As a result, pupils do not learn as well as they could. Leaders need to ensure that the curriculum is securely and consistently embedded across the school, so that pupils develop a deeper understanding over time.
- Some pupils' attitudes to their education are not as positive as they could be. This leads to a few pupils engaging in low-level disruptive behaviour. Leaders should ensure that all staff are consistent in terms of expectations of behaviour for learning and consistently apply the behaviour policy.
