What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 5 June 2024

Pupils are rightly proud of their school. They demonstrate mature attitudes towards their peers, champion inclusivity and have deep knowledge of their human rights. Bullying is very rare, and pupils feel able to advocate for themselves and others. Pupils understand that adults always listen to any worries they may have. As a result, pupils feel safe and are kept safe at school. Pupils benefit from an extensive extra-curricular offer. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), access a range of additional activities, such as gymnastics, cooking and eco-club. Pupils further develop their leadership skills through taking on responsibilities, such as school council representatives, mental health ambassadors or librarians. Pupils readily contribute to their local community through fundraising events for food banks and global charities, nominated by the pupil-led 'steering group'. Leaders are ambitious for all pupils to reach their full potential. Pupils work hard to reach these high expectations. They are curious about the world around them and keen to learn. As a result, they produce high-quality work in a range of subjects that they are proud to share with each other and visitors. Many pupils achieve well and are typically well prepared for the next stage of their education. Parents and carers are effusive in their praise for the school's work.

What the school should improve

  • On occasion, pupils' understanding is not sufficiently checked. In these instances, some pupils do not secure the important knowledge they need to progress through the curriculum and achieve well. The school should continue to ensure assessment is used more consistently to ensure that all pupils are well prepared for the next stage of their education. Those responsible for governance should also ensure that challenge and support is sharply focused on evaluating the impact that the curriculum has on what pupils know and remember.
