What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 June 2024
The school is determined that pupils will be given every opportunity to 'let their light shine'. Pupils say they like their teachers and feel safe. They know the school values, including forgiveness, respect and courage. Pupils share that these values, as well as British values and protected characteristics, are respected at their school. The school has high expectations of pupils' behaviour. Pupils live up to these expectations. A new behaviour system provides clear guidance for staff and pupils to 'be ready, be respectful and be safe'. Staff share that this has resulted in a more consistent approach to managing pupils' behaviour. In lessons, pupils focus on their learning. During social times, there is a harmonious atmosphere. Pupils enjoy visits to Lincoln Cathedral, Peterborough Museum and Flag Fen. These visits link to pupils' learning in the classroom. The school arranges for visitors to help bring pupils' learning to life, such as in relation to their study of the Vikings. Many pupils take part in clubs, such as football and cross-country clubs as well as music and drama. Children in the Reception class develop their social skills as they become pen pals with their peers in the other school in the federation.
What the school should improve
- Some pupils with SEND are not provided with targets which precisely identify the small steps they need to take to achieve their potential. As a result, it is difficult for these targets to be reviewed and for parents to be provided with information about their children's attainment. The school should ensure that all pupils with SEND benefit from targets which precisely identify how they can achieve their personal and academic goals.
- The school has recently introduced a robust system to monitor and evaluate the impact of the curriculum. There has not yet been time for this system to identify the strengths and areas for development in all subject areas. This means that the school does not yet know how to improve further the curriculum in all subjects and to build on existing strengths.
