What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 May 2023
Pupils enjoy attending this welcoming school. Staff know pupils very well and have high expectations of them. Pupils behave well. On the playground, pupils are kind and respectful to one another. Bullying is rare. If pupils have any worries, including about bullying, they know that staff will help them. This helps pupils to feel safe. The school's motto, 'focused on the future' is at the heart of everything this school has to offer. Leaders ensure that pupils study an ambitious curriculum. Teachers make learning purposeful for pupils. Pupils work hard and show resilience when work is challenging. Pupils gain the knowledge they need and are well prepared for their next steps. Leaders provide pupils with opportunities to develop their talents and interests. They can take part in after-school clubs, such as well-being club and gymnastics. Pupils learn to be responsible citizens. For example, sports leaders lead activities at lunchtimes. Leaders have also established the CHIC (children helping in the community) club. Pupils work together to support their local community, for example, by litter picking.
What the school should improve
- Teachers sometimes miss opportunities to revisit and build upon what pupils have learned. Stronger links could be made between the knowledge and skills learned in different subjects because pupils' recall of facts and information is not as secure as it might be. Leaders should ensure that curriculum thinking, in every subject, provides regular opportunities to revisit and embed learning.
