What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 18 July 2023
This school is at the heart of its local community. Pupils bask in the care and support that leaders provide. Staff go out of their way to get to know pupils and their families well. They offer both emotional and practical support on a daily basis. This helps pupils to feel secure, happy and safe. Staff and pupils enjoy warm and nurturing relationships with each other. Pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), know that there are many trusted staff who they can go to if they have any troubles or concerns. Leaders deal with any rare incidents of bullying swiftly and effectively. Leaders and staff have high hopes for all pupils' achievement and behaviour. Pupils strive to be 'Westmorland Warriors'. They work hard, achieve well and treat each other kindly. Pupils benefit from a variety of opportunities to deepen their learning beyond the classroom. For example, they enjoy visits from guest speakers and organisations, such as the Hallé orchestra. They also proudly displayed their work as part of an art exhibition that they hosted for their parents.
What the school should improve
- Some staff do not use the most effective strategies to support struggling readers. This hinders pupils' ability to read unseen books with confidence. Leaders should make sure that staff receive appropriate training so that pupils who struggle with their reading are supported effectively and quickly become confident and fluent readers.
- Too many pupils do not attend school often enough. This limits how well these pupils learn. Leaders should build on their strategies to secure good attendance so that all pupils attend school regularly.
