What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 16 July 2024

Pupils and staff are justifiably proud of how inclusive their school is. Everyone is made to feel welcome. Through the school's 'THRIVE' values, pupils demonstrate genuine respect for each other and togetherness. Those who are new to the school or the country are helped to settle quickly into this caring community. Pupils are clear about the high expectations of their behaviour and meet these standards. They use their 'fantastic walking' to move sensibly around the school. They play well with each other at social times. From Nursery onwards, they demonstrate impressive levels of self-management. Pupils learn how to manage their emotions and use the 'emotion flowers' to discreetly signal when they would appreciate some support from staff. In lessons, pupils are attentive and do their best. They enjoy working with each other and take pride in the work they produce. They achieve well by the time they leave Year 6. The school provides pupils with many cultural and personal development experiences and opportunities. These include trips to a local mosque, outdoor education residentials and performing at a national arena. Pupils are keen to support fundraising for charities chosen by the school council. Many older pupils contribute to the school community as reading, digital and sports ambassadors.

What the school should improve

  • The curriculum is not always implemented to the same high standard across the school. These small pockets of variation mean some pupils are not learning in the same depth as others. The school should ensure that the good practice is shared and built on so that the quality of education is of a consistently high standard across all subjects and year groups.
  • The development of language is a priority in the early years. However, there are times when staff do not make the most of opportunities to extend children's language. This means that some children do not practise using new words or extending their talk as well as they could. The school should ensure that children are enabled to develop their language and communication skills more effectively through the interactions they have with adults.
