What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 12 January 2023
Pupils are proud to belong to a school where everyone matters. They are exceptionally well cared for. Pupils enjoy their weekly well-being lunches. They learn how to keep mentally and emotionally healthy. Pupils know that leaders and staff will support them if they have any concerns. Leaders deal with any rare incidents of bullying swiftly and effectively. Pupils, including children in early years, are happy and safe in school. Pupils value the many different experiences available to them. For example, pupils relish opportunities to represent their classmates through their various positions of responsibility. They enjoy acting as news leaders. Pupils carry out these roles enthusiastically. They know that leaders value their opinions and listen to their ideas. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are fully involved in school life. Leaders have high expectations of pupils' achievement and behaviour. Pupils take great pride in their work and typically behave well. Their individual needs are understood and well supported by staff. Pupils make strong connections between different aspects of their learning. This helps them to achieve well. Children in early years are well prepared for their next stage of education. Parents and carers who shared their views with inspectors were overwhelmingly positive about the school. They would readily recommend it to others.
What the school should improve
- Occasionally, some teachers do not follow leaders' intended curriculum closely enough. This means that pupils in the same year group learn slightly different curriculum content, depending on which mixed-aged class they are in. Pupils' recall is varied as a result. Leaders should ensure that teachers deliver the intended curriculum consistently well across the mixed-age classes.
