What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 9 March 2022
Leaders and staff have high expectations of all pupils. Parents and carers are overwhelmingly positive about the school. They appreciate the good personal and academic skills their children are developing from early years onward. Pupils enjoy school. They behave well in class and work hard because they want to learn. Staff are quick to recognise and praise pupils' good work and behaviour. Pupils enjoy collecting stickers and 'marbles in a jar' that contribute to prizes, games and extra opportunities for wider enrichment activities. Pupils are polite and well mannered. They play well together at break- and lunchtime. Pupils told inspectors that staff help them to resolve any differences if there is any 'falling out'. Pupils make positive contributions to school life. For example, school councillors help with charity work and suggest improvements to the school's environment. Pupils are safe in school. Staff care deeply about the well-being of pupils. Bullying is rare and is not tolerated. Pupils trust staff implicitly. They know that staff will listen to them and act on any of their worries or concerns.
What the school should improve
- The curriculum is not well planned in music and French. In these subjects, pupils do not remember crucial knowledge to help them with new learning. Leaders should make sure that the curriculum in these subjects is planned effectively and taught well. Leaders should ensure that the curriculum in these subjects includes opportunities for pupils to practise and recall important knowledge.
- The leaders of some foundation subjects, such as history, music and French, do not make sure that teachers use assessment consistently well to check that pupils understand what they have been taught. Some pupils do not remember their learning as well as they should. Senior leaders should make sure that teachers check pupils' understanding so that they can take steps to address any gaps in pupils' knowledge.
