What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 July 2023
Strong relationships between staff and pupils are at the heart of this happy school. Pupils feel safe and well cared for. Pupils rightly consider every member of staff as a trusted adult. The four core values of respect, responsibility, resilience and reflection permeate the school. Pupils are calm. They move around the school maturely and respectfully. They are sensitive to each other's needs and are quick to support each other. Bullying is not a problem here. Staff are quick to intervene and support pupils if there are any issues. Pupils demonstrate exemplary attitudes to learning. Right from the early years, staff have high expectations and are ambitious for all pupils to achieve their very best. Pupils are keen to reach and exceed these expectations. They demonstrate this through a sharp focus on their learning. Across the school, pupils achieve well. They get off to a particularly strong start to their education in the early years. Pupils benefit from the school's wide-ranging programme, which enriches the curriculum. This includes numerous opportunities for outdoor learning. Pupils love tending to and caring for the many animals on site. They take these responsibilities seriously. The school's 'No Outsiders' programme has embedded a whole school culture of inclusion and equality.
What the school should improve
- Books are not always matched well enough to pupils' reading knowledge. This hinders some pupils' reading fluency and ability to make sense of what they are reading. Staff need to use their knowledge of pupils' reading to ensure that books are more closely matched to the sounds they know.
- In some subjects, leaders have not considered carefully enough how the subject curriculum in key stages 1 and 2 builds on what children learn in early years. As a result, pupils are not always using their prior knowledge as well as they could be. Leaders need to ensure that the school's curriculum takes account of and builds on what children learn in early years.
