What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 5 December 2023
The school's ambition of 'preparing our children for all of their tomorrows' features prominently. Everyone feels welcome, regardless of their differences. This helps all pupils feel happy and safe. The school is ambitious for all pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils rise to these expectations and achieve well. Pupils value the opportunities to develop their talents in clubs such as drama, well- being and judo. Everyone can represent the school in a sporting activity and pupils love the range of activities they can participate in at breaktime. Many enjoy using the climbing equipment. Younger children take part in outdoor activities to help them learn about the natural world. Some pupils relish the chance to grow vegetables in the school garden. The house system, named after famous horses, brings the school together. Everyone loves taking part in house competitions such as the recent art event. Pupils are thoughtful and kind to each other. They told inspectors that the 'friendship meeting point' on the playground is a safe place for anyone to go to if they have no one to play with. Pupils said it rarely gets used, but if it does then friends rush there to support their peers.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes, teachers do not check pupils' understanding of the curriculum accurately enough. Feedback given to pupils does not always focus precisely enough on what they need to do to improve. The school must ensure that teachers' checks on pupils' learning inform future teaching so that gaps in pupils' learning are addressed effectively.
- In a small number of subjects, the curriculum design does not support pupils to learn and remember key knowledge and skills. This means that sometimes pupils cannot integrate new knowledge into larger ideas. The school needs to continue to develop the curriculum sequence to ensure that pupils embed the important knowledge and skills that they need to be successful at each stage of their learning.
