What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 December 2024
This is a warm and caring school. Pupils support each other. They are committed to the school's central values, such as kindness and teamwork. Pupils behave well. They are polite and well mannered and move around the school in an orderly way. This results in a calm and purposeful atmosphere for learning. Pupils feel happy and safe in school. They are aware of who they can talk to if they have a concern. The school has high aspirations for its pupils. Pupils strive to meet these expectations. They have positive attitudes to learning and they are keen to do well. They learn to 'dream and achieve' and to believe that they can do whatever they set their minds to. They achieve well. Pupils are provided with a wide range of opportunities beyond the academic curriculum that help them to develop their interests and talents. For example, pupils sing in the choir and take part in cooking, language and sporting clubs. Pupils are enthused about the opportunities that they receive in and out of the classroom.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, the school's approaches to checking how well pupils are learning are not fully developed. This means that gaps in pupils' learning are not routinely identified or addressed. The school should refine its assessment practice and ensure that teaching takes account of, and builds on, what pupils already know and can do.
