What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 1 April 2025
Pupils thrive at this school. They are happy and feel safe. They respond positively to the high expectations of staff. There is a culture of acceptance. Pupils recognise the value of difference and appreciate a variety of people and cultures. The corridors are full of confident, well-mannered pupils who greet each other and staff warmly. Pupils hold the doors open for adults and for each other. Everyone is welcoming and friendly to all. Pupils behave well in lessons and work well together. At social times, they enjoy organising games and activities that everyone can join in with. Incidents of bullying are very rare. The school's ambition for every pupil to achieve their potential is beginning to be realised. Pupils are exposed to a vocabulary-rich environment where staff strive to provide high- quality teaching. As a result, pupils achieve well academically and develop their social and emotional resilience. The school provides pupils with meaningful opportunities to help them to grow as individuals. Pupils are supported to attend annual residential trips that are planned carefully to meet the needs of all pupils. There are also a variety of clubs on offer. The school band is especially popular, performing skilfully for parents and carers on special occasions.
What the school should improve
- While the curriculum is well-planned, work to ensure that all teachers have the skills to deliver it effectively is ongoing. Sometimes, new information is not presented clearly enough, and curriculum resources are not chosen as well as they could be. This hinders pupils' learning. The school should ensure that all teachers have the knowledge and expertise necessary to deliver high-quality teaching in all subjects.
- The school does not evaluate the effectiveness of some of the support that it provides to vulnerable pupils well enough. As a result, the school does not know what is working well for these pupils and what needs to change. The school should ensure that it has a full understanding of the effectiveness of the strategies that it uses to support vulnerable pupils, so that it can target its resources in the most impactful way.
