What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 February 2024
The school is a tight-knit community, where everyone works together to 'care for the whole child'. Pupils love coming to school. They enter the school gates cheerfully, greeting adults with a smile. They behave well, are happy and kept safe. They know they can speak up if they have any concerns or worries. Pupils are confident that adults are always there to listen to them. Pupils particularly like the school's large play spaces, where they have fun together with their friends. Staff at all levels share high ambition for pupils. They expect pupils to have a 'desire to be the best they can be at all times in everything they do'. Pupils rise to this. Overall, they learn the curriculum well, particularly in writing and mathematics. Ensuring that pupils achieve just as highly in other subjects is a priority for the school, with staff working hard to achieve this aim. Pupils are respectful towards each other, and towards adults. They are confident, articulate and courteous. Pupils move around the school sensibly. Pupils appreciate the many opportunities that they receive to learn about and understand the world around them. This includes getting involved with their local community through the nearby library and church-based organisations. Pupils also take pride in their efforts to support local and national charities through links with a charitable foundation and fundraising for the local food bank.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes, pupils do not have a secure enough understanding of the knowledge required to learn new ideas. When this happens, pupils struggle to make sense of this new learning. The school needs to ensure that teaching fully considers the component knowledge that is required to enable pupils to understand new concepts.
- In some instances, pupils' misconceptions are not identified early enough. This means that these misconceptions and errors are not routinely corrected. The school should ensure that misconceptions are picked up and addressed routinely to prevent pupils from accumulating gaps in their learning.
