What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 July 2024
Pupils enjoy coming to this small, inclusive and friendly school. The values of 'kindness, respect, friendship and hope' are central to school life. Pupils feel safe and value their friendships. Most parents and carers agree that the school is a positive place to be. One commented, 'My child loves this school. They have grown so much since starting and developed in confidence, all thanks to the staff and support given.' Pupils form secure relationships with adults. Most demonstrate positive attitudes to their learning. When some pupils become distracted, staff deal with it quickly, so it does not interrupt learning. Adults support those who struggle with their behaviour with consistency and sensitivity. Pupils are respectful and encouraged to be kind. Carefully tailored pastoral provision enables those who need support with their resilience to become independent, confident learners. Pupils appreciate the opportunities to learn beyond the classroom. A range of extra- curricular activities excite pupils. These include drama, music, karate and sports clubs. Pupils enjoy going on school trips linked to the curriculum, including residential experiences. They like taking on areas of responsibility such as house captains, buddies and school council members. Pupils are proud to talk of their personal achievements.
What the school should improve
- Some teachers' expectations of what pupils can achieve in writing are not high enough. As a result, pupils do not demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of key writing skills across wider curriculum subjects. The school needs to ensure all staff have the same high expectations for all pupils to demonstrate their knowledge and skills in writing and apply this across all subject areas.
- Assessment is not used precisely enough in some subjects across the wider curriculum. As a result, pupils have gaps in their knowledge. The school needs to ensure that staff use assessment effectively to know how to identify gaps and inform next steps in learning.
