What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 26 September 2023
Pupils love attending their school. Strong relationships are a notable feature of the school culture. Pupils feel safe and well cared for. If they have any worries, they tell an adult. That is because they know the adults will help them. Adults teach pupils how to manage their well-being. For example, pupils learn helpful strategies such as using breathing techniques to feel calm. Pupils, including children in Reception, quickly settle in after joining. Adults are proactive in making sure that pupils feel a strong sense of belonging. Pupils benefit from the clear routines that are in place. Older pupils are supported to look after the younger children. This helps older pupils feel responsible, and it makes the younger children feel welcomed. The school has high expectations for pupils' success. Pupils are expected to work hard, and adults support them to do so. Pupils enjoy the wide range of enrichment opportunities on offer and are very positive about sports such as swimming and football. Many pupils enjoy singing in morning choir. They really like playtime. The playground includes a variety of activities that the children enjoy engaging with, both with their friends and with adults. Pupils particularly love dancing, ball games and climbing on the equipment.
What the school should improve
- A small number of pupils who are at an early stage of reading do not do as well as they should. In these cases, staff do not deliver the phonics programme consistently well. When pupils fall behind, staff do not give the weakest readers the most appropriate support to catch up. The school needs to ensure that all staff are equally well trained to deliver the phonics programme effectively. The school must prioritise pupils who are not keeping up and give them the effective support they need so they catch up swiftly.
- In a few instances, the work provided is not matched closely enough to what pupils already know and need to learn. The school needs to ensure that teachers check what pupils know and use this information accurately to set work that supports pupils to learn more.
