Pupils are bright, lively and eager to please. They are enthusiastic in lessons and love playing together in the beautiful school grounds and woodland. Pupils are confident about talking to trusted adults if they are worried. The school helps pupils to be kind and look after each other. Staff help pupils with making and keeping friends. In this way, worries about bullying are quickly dealt with. However, leaders and staff have not carried out their safeguarding duties effectively. The school’s systems for recording and sharing concerns about child protection are weak and potentially put pupils at risk. For a long time, expectations of what pupils learn have not been high enough. The school has not added enough value to what pupils already know, understand and can do. Because pupils achieve well in mathematics, reading and writing, it has been assumed that they are learning an ambitious curriculum. They are not. Not enough is new to pupils and topics are not planned well enough in subjects across the curriculum to help pupils to remember important knowledge. Many parents feel lucky that their children attend a school in such an attractive setting. However, parents are not aware that the school’s quality of education needs to be better.
