What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 May 2025
This is a happy school where everyone is made to feel welcome. Pupils enjoy school and develop a strong sense of belonging. As one pupil explained, 'At this school everyone respects each other. Everybody comes here to learn and to be kind to one another.' Relationships between staff and pupils are warm. As a result, pupils feel safe and cared for. Pupils consistently treat each other and adults with courtesy and respect. The school expects all pupils to work hard towards achieving their own potential. Pupils strive hard to meet these expectations, as some put it, `We challenge ourselves every day.' They show mature attitudes towards their learning and achieve well. Pupils are proud of their school, their own achievements and the achievements of others. Pupils access a range of carefully planned wider opportunities. Pupils are particularly positive about the school's 'well-being days' where they learn strategies to help them look after their mental and physical health. Pupils enjoy taking on leadership responsibilities such as being a reading ambassador, school councillor or playleader. Pupils access a wide range of after school clubs. These include choir, gardening, dance and a variety of sports. These opportunities broaden pupils' experiences, nurture their interests and prepare them well for the future.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes adaptations do not meet the needs of pupils whose prior subject knowledge is not secure, including some pupils with SEND. As a result, those pupils do not achieve as well as they could. The school should ensure that staff have the expertise needed to adapt learning, so that these pupils achieve their best possible outcomes.
- The school's leadership of subjects is at various stages of development. Consequently, the precision of the school's oversight of the curriculum is inconsistent. For example, some subject leaders do not routinely use information from staff's checks on pupils' learning to refine the curriculum. As a result, some pupils' gaps in knowledge are not addressed and they do not achieve as well as they could. The school should ensure that it develops subject leadership so that teachers ensure that pupils know and re- member more of the curriculum.
