What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 June 2023
This school is at the heart of its community. Pupils are very happy. They feel safe and well cared for. The school serves a diverse community including families from military backgrounds, Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities and families from local villages. Leaders ensure that all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), and their families feel welcomed and included in school life. Leaders have high expectations of all their pupils. Staff model these expectations consistently. As a result, pupils' behaviour is exemplary. Pupils know how to behave well. They want to learn and do not waste opportunities to do so. Staff teach pupils to respect each other. Pupils play happily together. In addition, the presentation of work in pupils' books and on display around the school is of a very high standard. Pupils are proud of their school and the different cultures and traditions that make up the school community. Bullying is not accepted in school. Pupils know they can share any worries with adults. Staff deal with issues swiftly and effectively. This makes pupils feel safe. Parents are overwhelmingly positive about the school, its leaders and staff. Parents' comments included: 'It's a community that makes every child feel safe and valued.'
What the school should improve
- In a few foundation subjects, leaders' use of assessment is underdeveloped. Currently, assessments do not check how much learning has taken place or what pupils have remembered. Leaders should continue to refine the use of assessment in foundation subjects so that it informs them about what pupils know, can do and have remembered over time.
