What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 5 November 2024
The school has high expectations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils rise to these high expectations. They enjoy coming to school. Pupils feel safe at school and they achieve well. Pupils are cheerful, polite and welcoming. They enjoy positive relationships with their peers and adults. They value their education and this is reflected in rates of attendance that are above average. Pupils behave extremely well throughout the school, responding well to clear routines and the expectations of adults. Bullying is extremely rare and pupils know that they can rely on adults to support them if there are any worries or problems. The school's exceptional personal development offer provides pupils with multiple opportunities to extend their interests and passions beyond the curriculum. Older pupils develop independence through a number of residential visits. All pupils receive first aid training. Pupils thrive in a range of leadership roles. For example, sports leaders help at playtime by providing equipment and facilitating games. Pupils are very well prepared for their later life. They aspire to becoming positive, caring members of society.
What the school should improve
- Some of the support for pupils with SEND is not mapped out and checked carefully enough. This means that adaptations for these pupils are not as effective as they could be. The school should improve the way it shares guidance and targets to support pupils with SEND to further improve their progression through the curriculum.
- The school does not consistently identify and address errors in pupils' letter formation. As a result, pupils continue to make the same mistakes and do not develop their handwriting skills effectively. The school should ensure that weaknesses in letter formation are promptly identified and addressed.
