What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 27 February 2024
Pupils are proud of their caring and welcoming school. They demonstrate the school values of kindness and respect in their attitudes towards staff and peers. Pupils meet the school's high expectations of behaviour. They go out of their way to give others a helping hand. Every year, pupils look forward to writing manifestos in order to be elected to one of the many coveted leadership roles. Staff are ambitious for all pupils to achieve well. Classrooms are hives of activity. Pupils usually achieve positively and are well prepared for their continued education. However, 2023 phonics and key stage 1 reading results were well below the national average. The school has taken swift action to address this, and strengthening early reading remains a priority. Pupils have a strong sense of citizenship and are keen to be part of the school and wider community. They value the opportunities to work with organisations from the village. Pupils look forward to activities with the local rangers in the school's nature reserve and singing at the church carol concert. They take great delight in working with their teachers to organise an interesting range of extra-curricular activities. This enables pupils to pursue their own interests and share them with others.
What the school should improve
- The recent introduction of the new phonics scheme means that not all staff have acquired secure subject knowledge. This means they do not have the required expertise to support pupils to quickly become fluent and confident readers. The school should ensure that all staff are equipped with expert knowledge to teach early reading effectively.
- In a few subjects, staff do not routinely recap previous learning and check what pupils have remembered. As a result, in these subjects, pupils' achievement is less strong because staff do not identify and address pupils' gaps in learning. The school should ensure that all staff check pupils' understanding and adapt their teaching to support them to learn the intended curriculum securely.
