What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 8 March 2023
Pupils like school. School sweatshirts are worn with pride. Displays around school remind pupils to believe in themselves with positive statements like 'I can be anything I want to be'. Pupils know who to talk to if they have concerns. They know that they will be listened to. This helps them to feel safe. Pupils appreciate the many clubs on offer. The 'Glee' club, dodgeball and robotics are favourites. Adults have high expectations of pupils. Pupils understand and live up to these. Pupils try hard in lessons. Breaktimes are energetic, sociable events where toast and fruit is available. Pupils understand the simple rules of 'ready, respectful, safe'. Staff sort out any behaviour incidents swiftly and calmly. Teachers deal with occasional bullying immediately. Older pupils enjoy reading with younger children in Reception or accompanying Nursery children on their 'welly walk'. Leaders have ensured that pupils are provided with effective pastoral support. Staff are available to talk at any time, to deal with pupils' anxieties and oversee practical support for pupils and their families. Some pupils describe the school environment as having a 'homely and natural vibe'.
What the school should improve
- In some parts of the curriculum, such as geography and science, the essential knowledge that leaders want pupils to know is not identified clearly enough. This also applies to the early years. This means that some pupils struggle to connect their learning and build on what they already know. Leaders should review the curriculum to ensure there is absolute clarity for teachers about what pupils should know and remember at each stage of learning in all subjects.
- In some subjects, teachers do not provide enough opportunities for pupils to practise and apply their knowledge. This means that pupils can struggle to remember some important aspects of the curriculum. Leaders should ensure that teachers build in sufficient time for pupils to use and apply their knowledge to help embed learning into their long-term memory.
