What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 30 January 2024
This is a school where pupils are nurtured in all aspects of their development. Staff and pupils have warm relationships. There is a strong sense of family at the school. Pupils make positive progress through most subjects in the curriculum. They enjoy learning. Teachers make lessons interesting. Pupils often read for pleasure, both individually and with their teachers. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are well supported and included fully in the school community. Pupils are well behaved at the school. They are polite and kind to each other. Pupils rarely experience bullying. Teachers deal with bullying swiftly when it does occur. Pupils experience a range of opportunities to broaden their interests, responsibilities and aspirations. For example, pupils visit Bempton cliffs to observe birds. They then produce artwork, based on their visit, in the style of a local artist. Pupils join leadership teams, such as sports leaders, in school. They support the work of local charities such as The Hinge Centre in Bridlington. Pupils are happy and safe at this school. They have trust in the adults who care for them. Pupils are confident to discuss any issues that are troubling them.
What the school should improve
- The school's new approach to writing in greater depth is not fully embedded. Some pupils do not make the progress of which they are capable. The school should ensure there are opportunities for pupils to use the knowledge they have learned in writing more often.
- The curriculum in some foundation subjects is not as well developed as it is in core subjects. This means that, in some subjects, pupils do not develop a thorough and in-depth grasp of new knowledge. This limits the progress that pupils make. The school should ensure that the curriculum in foundation subjects is further refined and is comparable in quality to the core subjects.
