What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 26 September 2023
Everyone lives out the school's motto of 'Hand in hand we learn' at this welcoming and nurturing school. Staff know pupils well. Pupils say adults listen to them and support them if they have worries. Pupils talk about how kind the teachers are. Governors and staff want all pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), to do their best. They have high expectations of what pupils can achieve. Pupils meet these expectations. Pupils are happy, confident and lively. They enjoy sharing their views and are proud of their school. They play well together at social times. Pupils understand the school rules and they learn how to be caring towards others. Pupils learn about different cultures through the curriculum and in assemblies. They are tolerant of differences in others. Pupils are clear that everyone is welcome here. There is an exceptional range of opportunities for pupils. For example, they learn about road safety, and everyone has the opportunity to play a musical instrument. Pupils can attend a wide selection of clubs, including martial arts, construction club and football. The school has a focus on ecology and the environment and has won an eco-award for this work.
What the school should improve
- The school has not embedded effective formative assessment systems for some foundation subjects. In some subjects, teachers are not clear about what pupils have remembered from previous learning. The school should develop assessment systems within the foundation curriculum to ensure that teachers are able to check how well children have retained the previous knowledge taught.
- In some subjects, the school does not provide learning activities that ensure pupils retain new knowledge. Pupils remember the activity they do but not recall what they learned as a result. The school should plan activities to meet clear and precise learning intentions from the curriculum so that pupils can retain knowledge over time.
