Ofsted
Good Inspected 1 November 2023
Strengths
- “Friendships, positive relationships and kindness are encouraged by leaders.”
- “Pupil ‘friendship ambassadors’ know their role and receive training on how to help their peers join in with games and make friends.”
- “Children in the early years and older pupils work and play alongside each other well.”
To improve
- “Sometimes, where the intended subject content is not delivered according to leaders’ thinking, pupils develop gaps in their knowledge.”
- “When this occurs, pupils’ knowledge and skills are not built up as securely over time, and checks on pupils’ understanding and the identification of any gaps and misconceptions are not as routine.”
- “Sometimes, when listening to pupils read, staff do not follow as consistent an approach to supporting weaker readers, for example by reading words for pupils that pupils struggle to read.”
