What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 December 2024
Pupils thrive because of the high-quality education that they receive. The school's high ambition for all pupils, particularly those who are disadvantaged, is at the heart of everything it does. The school gives pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and those who are disadvantaged the highest priority. Pupils meet and exceed the high expectations that the school has for them. They do this in their learning and in their behaviour. Behaviour throughout the school is exemplary. Pupils live and breathe the school's intention that: 'We do the right thing because it is the right thing to do.' They are highly motivated and appreciative of all the opportunities and experiences the school offers them. Pupils feel safe and happy in school because they know that adults care for them. Pupils benefit from a range of roles of responsibility. Through these, they make a significant contribution to their school and community. For example, pupils requested changes to the school's drop-off and collection arrangements. These have led to improvements in road safety and reductions in congestion around the school.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, strategies to ensure that pupils recall and build on previous learning are less developed than in others. When this happens, pupils do not learn to the same depth that they do elsewhere in the curriculum. The school should develop strategies to successfully build learning over time in all subjects.
- On occasion, pupils' misconceptions are not addressed. This means that errors in their work persist. The school should carry out further work to address misconceptions to further improve pupils' learning.
