What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 18 July 2023
Leaders have designed a broad and ambitious curriculum for pupils. Leaders' expectations of pupils' academic achievement and behaviour are high. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). All pupils take part in a range of quality extracurricular activities, and pupils are happy and safe. The school's motto, aim high, take part and have fun, guides all that staff and pupils do here. Pupils behave consistently sensibly. Leaders foster a positive and respectful school culture that encourages pupils to build strong, positive and professional relationships with staff. Pupils follow routines tightly. For example, children in the Nursery selected, assembled and cut up safely their own breaktime snack. Leaders provide a uniquely varied and high-quality set of personal development experiences for pupils. Leaders have planned personal development lessons very carefully so that they guide pupils to become empathic, responsible adults who keep themselves safe. All pupils in Years 4 to 6 go on residential trips each year so that they can experience environments outside of the city. Many pupils have several in-school responsibilities. For example, pupils are lunchtime leaders, school gardeners, learning detectives and office assistants that contribute to the school community and learn about the world of work.
What the school should improve
- The curriculum for pupils with complex needs in the resourced provision is not embedded securely and consistently. The school has not identified with sufficient clarity what pupils with SEND should know and be able to do over time. Support for all pupils in the resourced provision is not therefore equally strong. Leaders should embed plans to ensure that the intended learning is consistently clear for all pupils with complex needs so that these pupils receive the best support possible.
