What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 27 September 2023
'Where we grow' is the school's motto and pupils live up to this expectation. They grow in learning, independence and resilience. Pupils from Nursery to Year 2 progress well through the curriculum. They gain a love of reading and secure mathematical knowledge so that they are well prepared for their next steps. Pupils benefit from a broad curriculum that helps them to develop personally and be proud of where they are from. Their rich learning experiences include meeting famous local artists to inspire their own artwork and finding out about schools in more deprived areas of the world through their fundraising work. Building effective relationships is at the heart of the school's work. Pupils arrive at school keen to learn and ready to embrace all that the day has to offer. Pupils make friends because they care about each other and appreciate each other's differences. At breaktimes, they play happily with their peers on the playground. Pupils generally behave very well in lessons and around the school. They enjoy the recognition they receive for being successful. This includes the opportunity for pupils to nominate their peers for 'good as gold' certificates when they have displayed one of the school's values.
What the school should improve
- The school is redesigning the content for some subjects within the curriculum. In a small number of subjects, it is not clear what curriculum content teachers need to teach or when. This means that some pupils may miss out on important learning. The school should make sure that the content to be taught for each subject is identified clearly, alongside when the content should be taught.
- The school is at the early stages of implementing a new assessment system for the foundation subjects. Previously, staff have not been able to accurately check what pupils have learned over time so as to identify any gaps. The school should ensure that assessment is used well to check what pupils know and remember so that teachers can use this information to plan the next steps in learning.
