What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 19 September 2023

Pupils are very happy to attend this welcoming, vibrant school. They arrive every day full of enthusiasm because they are excited to see what they will be learning. Pupils said that they find their lessons interesting. They are well supported by their teachers, who care about them. Pupils enjoy playing with their friends and they said that they feel safe in school. Pupils rise to meet the high expectations that the school sets for them. They work hard in their lessons. To this end, they are alert to their teachers' instructions and they remain focused on their learning. In the main, pupils achieve well. The school takes an appropriate approach to managing behaviour. Pupils understand the school rules. They agree that the school's clear routines exist for the benefit of all. Pupils are eager to be ready, and they act respectfully and safely towards each other. As a result, the atmosphere in school is calm and purposeful. Pupils' experiences in school go beyond the academic curriculum. The school provides many opportunities for pupils to take on positions of responsibility, such as acting as a member of the school council or as an anti-bullying ambassador. Pupils also make a positive contribution to their local community, for example by taking part in the 'smile challenge' at the local nursing home.

What the school should improve

  • In a small number of subjects, the school has not identified the key knowledge that pupils need to be ready for the next phase of learning. This means that, at times, pupils' learning is not as strongly linked to what they have learned previously as it could be. The school should ensure that all subject curriculums set out the knowledge that pupils should learn and the order in which this should be taught.
