What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 18 January 2023
Pupils embody the school's value of being the 'best we can be'. Their learning is important to them, and they feel safe to strive to achieve well in school. All pupils, especially those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), benefit from being fully included in school life. They have warm relationships with staff and trust that the adults in school want what is best for them. Pupils thrive because of the high ambitions that radiate throughout the school. Classrooms are joyful and energetic places to be. Pupils show excitement and curiosity in their learning and are not afraid to try new things. Their resilience and confidence underpin the positive learning behaviours that they have. In lessons, pupils understand what their teachers and teaching partners expect of them. Behaviour in the classroom is positive, and creates a calm and purposeful environment. During breaks and lunchtimes, a small number of pupils do not always meet the high behaviour expectations of the school. However, most pupils play together positively and with respect. Pupils are knowledgeable about what bullying is and how adults around them can help if it happens. They are clear that bullying does not happen often.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, leaders have not yet fully realised their vision for the curriculum. Consequently, pupils do not consistently learn as well as they could across the entire curriculum. Leaders should continue to develop their staff so that all have the knowledge they need to ensure that pupils can build coherent knowledge over time in all subjects.
- During unstructured times of the day, the expectations of behaviour are not always as high. A small number of pupils sometimes display improper behaviour during breaks and lunchtimes. Leaders should ensure the expectations of behaviour are consistently understood and applied by staff and pupils so that behaviour throughout the school day reflects the high ambitions of the school.
