What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 26 September 2023
Pupils are proud of their school. They talk positively about recent changes at the school. The 'pupil voice group' ensures that pupils feel involved in school improvement. The school has high expectations of pupils' behaviour. As a result, pupils are respectful to adults and each other. Pupils know the school rules, 'be kind, be safe and show respect'. This means they conduct themselves well around school. Incidents of bullying are rare. When they do occur, the school deals with them effectively. The school teaches pupils to be well-rounded citizens. Pupils celebrate the diversity of their local community. They learn about festivals that reflect their different cultures and religions. Pupils who make up the eco-committee inform their peers about how to save energy to make a greener planet. The school is inclusive. Pupils are treated equally. They learn to form healthy relationships. Pupils understand the importance of staying physically and mentally healthy. They learn to stay safe online. Pupils feel safe in school. They proudly talk of the five safe adults they can speak to if they have any concerns.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the implementation of the curriculum is not as intended. In these areas, teachers do not assess pupils' learning. This means some pupils do not build their knowledge well. The school does not evaluate the curriculum with enough precision. The trust should ensure assessment is used effectively to check the curriculum is embedded securely and consistently so that pupils develop a deeper understanding over time.
