What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 6 December 2022
Pupils are proud to attend this welcoming and nurturing school. Leaders have high expectations and pupils rise to these. They behave well. Pupils treat each other with kindness and respect. They are polite, happy and friendly. Pupils wear their values wristbands with pride. They are keen to show the core values of love, respect and courage. Bullying rarely happens, but when it does staff deal with it swiftly. The inclusive ethos of the school is evident to all. Parents, pupils and staff are all overwhelmingly positive about this. One parent, whose view was reflected by many, stated that 'the culture of the school is one of its greatest strengths, its ethos and values are brought to life'. There are a range of clubs for pupils to attend. These include football, netball, choir and gardening. Pupils are delighted to have additional responsibilities such as being a road safety officer, school council representative, play buddy or a member of the eco-council. Playtimes are happy occasions. Whether it is playing on the vast trim trail, engaging in a sporting activity or running around with friends, pupils make sure everyone is included. This starts with the youngest children, who sociably play outside in their wooden wigwam or share their trikes.
What the school should improve
- Teachers do not use assessment as well in the foundation subjects as they do in the core subjects. Leaders should ensure the strong practice developed in core subjects is broadened to all subjects, so teachers know how to adapt learning to meet the needs of all pupils.
- The curriculum for some foundation subjects is not yet fully embedded. Pupils' knowledge in these subjects is not as deep or secure, as they have had less experience of a well-sequenced curriculum over time. Leaders need to continue to monitor the implementation of the curriculum in the foundation subjects.
