Ofsted Inspection
Our most recent Ofsted Inspection took place on 6th and 7th February 2024. The Inspection was a very positive affirmation of our school and its work.
“There is ‘S=P+A+C+E for everyone’ in this wonderfully happy and inclusive school. Pupils learn to be a good friend and help those who need it. Through the school’s 10 ‘Golden Threads’, pupils learn values such as tolerance. They learn about the impact of adversity and discrimination through reading stories about the lives of people affected by these issues.
Staff help pupils explore how to take care of their mental health. In turn, pupils learn to recognise and manage their feelings. Children in Reception try to be resilient like ‘Marvin the Monkey’. They learn to see mistakes as a chance to try again. Pupils are thriving in this school because dedicated staff prepare pupils for a happy and successful future.
The school’s high expectations support pupils in trying their very best in lessons. Clear classroom routines help prepare pupils to be ready to learn well. Pupils take turns to listen and share their ideas with each other. Through collaboration, they learn to build towards more complicated ideas. In music, they use their impressive knowledge of playing wind instruments to compose songs that they play together. Pupils learn to regularly review and improve their work. Consequently, pupils achieve well.”
We feel that the report reflects our school really very well. We found the inspection process helpful: it was affirming and effective in steering further school improvement. We always welcome guidance on ways we can improve as a school and we are already addressing our next steps!
