What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 27 June 2023
Pupils enjoy coming every day at this school. They said that their teachers were kind and caring. Staff set high expectations for pupils' learning and behaviour. As a result, pupils behave well. The school is a calm and orderly place to be. In early years, staff help children to grow in confidence. All pupils are well prepared for the next stages of their education. Pupils who join the school, including those who join partway through their primary education, receive a warm welcome here. Pupils settle quickly and make new friends because this is a happy and welcoming place to be. They are kind and show respect for others. Staff encourage pupils to understand the importance of supporting each other. For instance, pupils help to make friends if someone sits on the 'buddy bench'. Pupils' physical and mental health development is at the heart of the school's work. Staff deal with any concerns that pupils may have promptly. They help to keep pupils safe here. Staff encourage pupils to learn about different cultures through events such as 'International day.'
What the school should improve
- Leadership in some subjects is not fully embedded. This means that subject leaders do not routinely check how well the curriculum is implemented. The school needs to make sure that all subject leaders have the expertise to make sure that teaching delivers the curriculum consistently.
- In some foundation subjects, teaching does not check what pupils know precisely. This limits pupils' readiness for future content. The school should ensure that staff have a clear understanding of what pupils should know and remember in these subjects.
