What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 18 April 2023

This is a very welcoming and nurturing place to learn. Pupils treat each other, staff and visitors with respect. The atmosphere around the school is calm and purposeful. This is because there are clear and consistent routines and high expectations from staff. Pupils conduct themselves incredibly well in class and during social times. Throughout the school, they show positive attitudes towards their learning and work hard to demonstrate the school's values of resilience and kindness. Pupils understand what bullying is. They know how to report any incidences that might arise. Staff resolve any problems quickly. Pupils feel happy and safe because they know adults will listen to them if they have any worries. Pupils take pride in their leadership roles. For example, some pupils are 'playground buddies' who find friends for those who might need someone to play with in the playground. Leaders value pupils' opinions. For example, pupils in Year 5 worked with leaders to make the outdoor space even better. Pupils presented their ideas for a forest garden, and now the school has an edible garden. Leaders provide a range of clubs, including choir, dancing and African drumming club. These activities support pupils to develop their talents and pursue their interests.

What the school should improve

  • In a few subjects, pupils find it difficult to remember key concepts and vocabulary that they have been taught before. This means that they are not able to link new learning to what they have been taught before, and some pupils develop gaps in their learning. Leaders need to ensure that teachers help pupils to retain knowledge, skills and vocabulary over time, so that pupils can apply what they know in new and more complex contexts.
