What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 28 February 2024

Pupils are happy in school. They bound into the building each and every day filled with sheer joy. They described their school as an orderly and safe place to learn, where they can be themselves. The school is ambitious for pupils. It has set out a clear vision to broaden pupils' minds so that they become respectful and tolerant citizens. Pupils are highly respectful of each other and of the staff. Any negative behaviour is managed with careful nurture, warmth and love. Pupils learn about democracy, the rule of law and debate global issues. Pupils' conduct within lessons and around the school is exemplary. Pupils work hard and excel across the curriculum. They have a thirst for knowledge, and they are appreciative of the learning opportunities that are on offer to them. For example, children in the early years enjoy the annual visit from the goat and the sheep. This is linked to their topic on the natural world. Pupils are proud of the work that they produce. This can be seen in the high-quality displays across school, which proudly exhibit their learning. Pupils more than meet the high expectations that are set for them academically.

What the school should improve

  • In the early years, the activities and resources that teachers sometimes select do not help children to learn some aspects of the curriculum in all areas of learning. This means that children do not deepen their knowledge and understanding as well as they might over time. The school should ensure that teachers select the right activities and have the necessary resources to be able to deliver the curriculum as intended so that children remember what they have been taught.
