What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 December 2022
This is a vibrant and welcoming school. There is a happy atmosphere where being part of the school community is celebrated. It is a close-knit school community where staff encourage pupils to 'SHINE'. The vision for pupils to achieve success and be happy and healthy in a nurturing and inclusive environment is at the heart of the curriculum. Teachers have high expectations for all pupils. They support pupils to do their best. Pupils enjoy learning in a nurturing, safe environment. They can take part in a variety of enrichment clubs, trips and activities. The school is a busy and exciting place to learn. Pupils are eager to do their best. They are proud of their school. Pupils enjoy holding positions of responsibility. They relish the opportunity to have their say in the running of the school. Pupils behave very well. If incidents of poor behaviour or bullying do occur, pupils are confident that staff will sort them out effectively. Pupils are kept safe. They have good relationships with staff. They know they can talk to adults they trust about their worries. 'Worry boxes' are available in class if pupils prefer to remain anonymous. Leaders provide effective pastoral support for pupils, if needed.
What the school should improve
- Some subject leaders are new to their roles and are in the early stages of monitoring the implementation of their subject area. Therefore, they do not provide appropriate levels of challenge and support to teachers to make sure that the curriculum is implemented as intended. Senior leaders should ensure that new subject leaders develop the necessary skills to lead their area of responsibility effectively.
