From the inspection on 28 March 2023

Leaders want the very best for pupils in this school as it expands over the years. They have high expectations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils have positive attitudes and enjoy learning. They are confident that adults take care of them. Leaders help to keep pupils safe. The school is calm. Pupils move around the school sensibly. They are polite and behave well in lessons. Pupils are proud to attend the school and work hard. They know to speak to an adult if they have any worries. Staff deal with any concerns swiftly. Leaders ensure that pupils take part in a range of extra-curricular experiences. These include visiting an art gallery and a farm, and attending clubs that reflect pupils' interests. Leaders encourage pupils to take on responsibilities, for example as eco-school members, house captains and friendship buddies. Leaders offer a well-structured curriculum supported with a comprehensive approach for pupils to learn the Portuguese language. It helps pupils' development in their speaking, listening and writing skills. Leaders involve parents and carers in their children's learning. This includes through a range of workshops to share pupils' learning experiences and celebrate their achievements.

What the school should improve

• Sometimes, teaching does not revisit crucial knowledge and skills regularly. This limits pupils' recall of subject-specific knowledge and understanding on these occasions. Leaders should ensure that teaching supports pupils to remember and recall key knowledge fluently that they have been taught over time.
