OFSTED Report and SIAMS 

OFSTED

Ofsted carried out a full inspection of our school on the 23rd and 24th May 2023. 

Our school was graded as 'GOOD' in all areas and described as a 'happy and thriving school'.

The report highlights many signficant strengths of our school including: 

• Leaders have improved behaviour since the previous inspection. They have ensured that staff understand and apply the behaviour policy consistently. Pupils talk about how learning is now free from low-level disruption. They feel safe. Pupils appreciate the various rewards for positive behaviour, such as sitting at the ‘top table’ at lunchtimes. They say if they have any worries then adults help them to sort it. 

• Leaders place great emphasis on pupils developing their character through enrichment activities and trips. They experience carefully planned residentials which develop their knowledge of contrasting locations in modern Britain. There is a strong, realised vision of pupils learning through the outdoors.

• The early years is a hive of activity. Leaders have considered how the national lockdowns affected children’s early development. Leaders and staff are rightly proud of the bespoke outdoor setting for the Nursery. Teachers plan tasks carefully to complement what children learn during their indoor sessions. As a result, they display resilience with tasks, share equipment with one another and learn how to take risks. 

• Leaders have significantly improved the school since the last inspection. Previously, pupils did not learn as well as they should. This, along with the pandemic, affected outcomes in the 2022 national curriculum tests. However, pupils now learn more than in the past. Leaders have raised expectations of what pupils should achieve. This includes those with special educational needs and/or disabilities who have the curriculum carefully adapted to help them achieve well.

The government will not publish KS2 school level data for the 2021 to 2022 academic year. The last available public data is from the 2018 to 2019 academic year. It is important to note that the data from that year may no longer reflect our current performance.
