What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 March 2023
Pupils are proud of their happy and vibrant school. Everyone feels safe in this nurturing and friendly environment, where relationships are built on warmth and mutual respect. Staff have high expectations, and most pupils consistently meet these. If pupils need help with managing their emotions, staff show kindness and expertise to support them effectively. Behaviour is positive around the school, and pupils are not worried about bullying. If it happens, leaders take swift action. Every pupil identifies a 'trusted adult' whom they can always talk to. Leaders provide impressive pastoral care for different groups of pupils. There are special clubs for young carers and pupils with autism spectrum disorder. Outdoor learning programmes give pupils a boost with well-being. The 'Troopers' club supports families who serve in the armed forces. At playtime, pupils keep active by playing football and basketball. They invent creative games using equipment such as beanbags and hoops. Pupils love practising their gymnastic skills and balancing on the climbing equipment. Pupils were enthralled by visits to the local science centre and residential activity centre. Another highlight was a film-making project with an environmental focus, led by the pupil art council. Pupils visited the beach before writing and producing fantastic films about global warming.
What the school should improve
- Some pupils have had poor attendance since the pandemic restrictions. Their persistent absence means that they may not achieve as well as they should. Leaders are rightly prioritising this and must continue their efforts to ensure high attendance for all pupils.
- The school provides impressive extracurricular nurture opportunities for specific groups of pupils. However, some of these experiences, such as outdoor learning, are not currently available to all. Leaders should continue to widen this offer to ensure that opportunities can be shared and appreciated across the whole school.
