What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 20 September 2023

Pupils are proud of their school and they feel safe and happy. They said that their school is 'like a family' where everyone is welcome. Pupils' behaviour and conduct are exemplary. They are highly respectful of staff and of one another. Pupils value learning. They understand the importance of attending school every day. Pupils pride themselves on maintaining excellent attendance and punctuality. Pupils, including children in early years, respond well to the high expectations that the school has for their achievement. Pupils are curious learners. They have high aspirations for their next steps. Overall, pupils achieve well across the curriculum. Pupils relish the wider opportunities that the school provides. The extensive range of clubs on offer are well attended by pupils, including those pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and disadvantaged pupils. These activities include choir, football, yoga and archery. Pupils benefit from a plethora of opportunities to make a positive contribution to the life of the school. They approach their leadership roles with maturity. This includes being a school ambassador or a member of the eco-council. Older pupils act as buddies to children in early years and pupils in key stage 1. The school ensures that pupils are acutely aware of the importance of keeping healthy and safe. This includes when working and playing online.

What the school should improve

  • In a few subjects, some teachers do not deliver the curriculum in the way that the school intends. On occasion, this hinders some pupils from building on their prior knowledge and others from learning as deeply as they could. The school should ensure that, in these subjects, there are appropriate systems in place to check that teachers deliver the curriculum consistently well.
  • In some subjects, teachers do not adapt the delivery of the curriculum to meet the needs of some pupils with SEND. This means that these pupils do not learn as well as they should. The school should ensure that teachers are fully equipped to adapt the delivery of the curriculum successfully for pupils with SEND.
