What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 June 2023
Pupils are positive about their school. They enjoy attending. Pupils are happy here because they feel it is a friendly and welcoming place to be. Most parents echo this view. They like the sense of community and how the school cares for their children. Pupils know that they are expected to work hard and behave well. They aim to be, 'in the learning zone'. Pupils explain how the school values of respect, perseverance, positivity, honesty, creativity, empathy and unity help them to 'get a little better' every day. They try to model these in all they do. The school provides a wealth of opportunities for pupils to practise these skills. Pupils relish opportunities to be buddies, first aid monitors or part of the learning council, which they apply for by giving speeches on 'democracy day'. Pupils enjoy taking part in community events. They are proud of their contributions to these, through, for example, maypole dancing. Pupils feel safe. They know how to report any worries through the worry box. They are confident that staff will act to resolve any concerns. As a result, they do not worry about bullying, which they say is rare and quickly dealt with. Leaders' records support this view.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the curriculum is not as securely and consistently embedded as it is in others. Where this is the case, pupils do not consistently develop a deep understanding. They also do not achieve as well as they could. Leaders should continue their work to refine and embed the curriculum to ensure that it is consistent across all subjects.
