What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 21 May 2024

Pupils are proud to belong to this school community. Staff build strong relationships with pupils and their families. Parents are overwhelmingly positive about the high quality of education and care their children receive. Children in Reception Year benefit from playing and learning in a stimulating and vocabulary-rich environment. The school has high expectations for pupils' behaviour. Pupils meet these and demonstrate consistently positive attitudes to their learning. They show kindness and are well mannered. Pupils take on a range of leadership roles. For example, they can be a bronze ambassador, travel leader, reading buddy or part of the eco-squad. When pupils reach Year 6, many apply to the sought-after position of house leader. These responsibilities allow pupils to be role models, raise significant sums of money for charity and make positive contributions to school life. Pupils are enthusiastic about the range of trips on offer to them, including residential experiences. These opportunities extend their learning beyond the academic curriculum. Pupils regularly take part in extra-curricular activities. These include dodgeball, badminton, arts and crafts and choir. Pupils eagerly perform in the school's popular drama production.

What the school should improve

  • There are some inconsistencies in how well pupils at the early stages of reading learn and practise their phonics sounds. This leads to some pupils either not fully participating, or their inaccurate recall of a sound not being identified by staff. The school and trust should ensure that staff share best practice in the teaching of phonics so that quality is consistently high.
  • In some subjects, leaders have not outlined in sufficient detail the knowledge that is important for pupils to learn or how this will build over time. Therefore, pupils do not always experience a curriculum where important ideas and concepts build as progressively as they could within these subjects. The school and trust should ensure that the curriculum and the assessment of how well pupils have learned it are well planned in every subject.
