What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 May 2022
Pupils enjoy coming to school, attend regularly and behave well. The school is a friendly, safe place to be. Its small size means everyone knows each other well and all take care of one another. Pupils feel free from bullying and harassment. Staff are quick to spot any concerns and should they arise, adults swiftly resolve them. Small class sizes enable pupils to receive regular one-to-one support to help them learn. The school welcomes pupils who have not had a positive experience in their previous schools. Here, staff ensure they are safe, included and ready to learn. Leaders have developed the curriculum to provide pupils with a broad range of enrichment experiences, including, for example, a visit to France. However, pupils are not routinely set work that helps them deepen their knowledge and build on what they already know. Some staff do not have sufficient specialist knowledge to lead improvements in the curriculum. This means that pupils do not achieve as well as they could.
