What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 October 2023
Pupils achieve well in this school. The curriculum is ambitious. Leaders have high expectations of everyone. Pupils have a positive attitude towards learning and enjoy their lessons. They have regular meetings with a teacher to discuss their learning, next steps and achievements in school. This gives them a sense of pride and ownership of their learning. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are given the right support in lessons. This helps them to achieve well. Children in early years are taught by highly skilled staff. Children make a good start to their learning in reading, writing and understanding number. Pupils are excited by the wider opportunities the school provides. Pupils enjoy the '50 things to try before you are 11 and ¾' and residential trips. Pupils have regular opportunities to talk about current affairs with their peers. This helps them develop a better understanding of the world. The school teaches pupils how to use the internet safely. Behaviour in lessons is good. Pupils listen to each other and work well in groups. However, behaviour at playtimes is not as positive. The school is working to address this.
What the school should improve
- The new systems to manage behaviour are not embedded during unstructured times of the day. Some pupils do not behave well at playtimes. The school should ensure that there is consistency in expectations of behaviour throughout the day and that pupils, staff and parents understand the new systems in place.
