What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 22 October 2024
The school has very high expectations of its pupils, both academically and socially. The school's new curriculum builds on pupils' prior learning well from the Nursery Year to Year 6. It is enhanced by educational visits and visitors to the school. Lessons are calm, purposeful and interesting. Children settle quickly into the school's routines on entry to Nursery and Reception. Many children skip into school with excitement in the mornings. Pupils, by the time they leave Year 6, achieve high standards in reading, writing and mathematics. They are prepared very well for the demands of secondary schooling. Pupils enjoy school, attend regularly and arrive on time. They behave well in and around school. Parents, carers and pupils appreciate the wide range of extra-curricular activities provided, including netball, Italian and craft clubs. Many pupils benefit from the roles of responsibility they undertake in school. They experience leadership and citizenship first hand. Staff and pupils benefit from the school's strong focus on mental health and well-being. Breaktimes are calm and harmonious. Friendliness, cooperation and teamwork abound. Pupils treat each other, staff and visitors with courtesy and respect. The school deals with rare instances of unacceptable behaviour swiftly.
What the school should improve
- The school's curriculum is new and not embedded in some foundation subjects. This means older pupils have gaps in their knowledge. The school should continue to embed the curriculum while identifying and addressing the gaps in pupils' knowledge.
- The school's provision for some pupils with SEND is not matched precisely to their needs. This means that some pupils' needs are not met fully. The school should continue to review its identification of, and provision for, pupils with SEND.
