What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 6 June 2023
Pupils are happy and enjoy school. They say that everyone is welcome. Pupils appreciate their caring teachers, who frequently go above and beyond to help them. Pupils want to come to school, and they attend well. Pupils feel safe at school. They know that if they are worried about anything, they can tell an adult, and it will be taken seriously. Pupils behave well. They know their school values are important. They are proud to receive praise and awards for being respectful, kind, resilient and doing their best. They say that bullying is rare. Adults help them to resolve any fallouts fairly. Leaders have high expectations for pupils' learning. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Staff work hard to provide a broad and inspiring curriculum, which pupils visibly enjoy. Pupils pay close attention in class and relish the opportunities they experience. Pupils benefit from a wealth of sporting, creative and cultural opportunities, which are accessible to all. For example, pupils told the inspector how the residential visit helped them learn about nature and lifecycles when they took part in pond dipping. There are many extra-curricular activities in school. Pupils can learn to play a variety of musical instruments or take part in a range of sports clubs, such as cricket or football. They can perform in the rock band, practise yoga or learn to cook. Pupils also undertake leadership roles in school, such as 'tiny forest' tree keepers.
What the school should improve
- Leaders have worked on the curriculum and made clear the knowledge that pupils need to know and remember in all subjects. However, in RE, plans have not been followed consistently enough. This makes it hard for pupils to remember long term what they have been taught or to make links to prior learning. Leaders should ensure that curriculum plans for RE are followed consistently so that the pupils have a deeper understanding of the religions they study.
