What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 2 July 2024
Pupils enjoy coming to this welcoming and friendly school. They build positive relationships with the staff and with each other. The school has a calm and orderly environment. Pupils enjoy their learning and participate enthusiastically in school life. They understand how to behave and are keen to earn rewards and take part in class discussion. The school has high ambitions for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Staff make sure pupils have the support they need to achieve well. Pupils feel safe. They can post their concerns in the class worry boxes but they also know who to talk to if they need any help. Bullying is rare and pupils know that if it happens, it will be dealt with swiftly and effectively. Pupils enjoy the range of enriching activities to support their wider development. They can take on leadership positions such as the eco-champions who have created a mini forest by planting trees on the school field or the reading champions who help younger pupils with their reading. There are also lots of clubs for pupils to attend, including dance, cooking and karate, and trips to places like the Cutty Sark and the Science Museum.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the intended curriculum is not delivered with the same accuracy and precision as others. In these instances, pupils do not consistently develop the same depth of knowledge and understanding as they do in other subjects. Leaders should ensure they continue to develop staff expertise and knowledge and ensure consistency of delivery across the curriculum.
