What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 15 October 2024
The school expects pupils to be kind, honest and work hard. These three simple and well- understood expectations flavour all of school life. In the classroom, staff guide and support pupils to learn a lot in different subjects. On the playground and at other times of day, pupils look after one another and make sure no one feels left out. The school is a happy, safe and ambitious place to be. The school's high expectations for pupils' behaviour and work show in many ways. Pupils and staff respect one another and bullying is not accepted. If any problems occur, then adults act quickly and calmly to sort things out fairly. Indeed, the school's guiding motto of 'love, laugh, learn' is clearly apparent in everyone's actions and attitudes. Pupils achieve well in different subjects, with standards in reading being particularly strong. Throughout the school day, adults take time to notice the little things that pupils do. Each week, the school recognises kind words and thoughtful behaviour in special celebrations that build self-esteem and positive attitudes. The school invites parents to share in these, to attend workshops and get involved in school life. Parents appreciate this and speak highly of the school.
What the school should improve
- The school's approach to building pupils' number fluency is not as consistent as it could be. Many pupils achieve well but some do not get enough practice to develop sufficiently rapid recall of number facts. The school should review its approach to supporting routine recall and practice of number facts.
- The school has recently introduced a new way of teaching letter formation and handwriting. This is not yet firmly established so pupils, particularly those in key stage 1, have a mix of habits. The school should continue to support everyone to develop correct pencil grip and a consistent approach to writing letters and numbers.
