What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 5 October 2022
The school values of enjoyment, confidence, individuality, creativity and independence run like a thread through school life. This reflects pupils' everyday experience and inspires them to aim high. They are instilled in children from the very start of their school journey in Nursery or Reception. Pupils are proud of their vibrant, happy school. They get on well together and are curious about the many different cultures and experiences within their diverse school community. They share their thoughts, take time to hear the views of others and value the kindness that is evident everywhere. Positive relationships between staff and pupils ensure that pupils are known as individuals. There is much fun and laughter. Pupils feel safe. They do not worry about bullying because they know it would not be tolerated. Staff consistently reinforce high expectations of work and behaviour throughout. This leads to a calm, purposeful environment across the school. As a result, pupils behave consistently well and concentrate in class. Pupils have a voice in their school. For example, they carefully choose charities that they want to support. They enjoy participating in the wider life of the school as house captains or through the eco council.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, leaders have not fully considered how the early years curriculum links to the key stage 1 curriculum. This means that pupils' learning sometimes falters at the transition point. Leaders should ensure that the two curriculums are closely aligned to help pupils build on what they already know and can do as they move into Year 1 and beyond.
