What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 July 2024
The school's vision of 'every child, every chance, every day' is an important focus for leaders at this school. Staff have high expectations and support pupils to be the best they can be. Consequently, the majority of pupils achieve well. Pupils are happy and feel safe. They are friendly and welcoming. The school prioritises supporting pupils to 'find their voice'.' Pupils learn to become skilled communicators so that they can discuss their views and ideas. They listen sensitively to others. For example, at lunchtime, staff give pupils prompts to help support discussion between them. This helps to build positive relationships between pupils and their peers. Pupils benefit from a well-considered offer for personal development. The school prepares pupils well for life in modern Britain. Pupils learn how to lead safe, healthy lifestyles. They have many opportunities to take on leadership roles. This means that they make a tangible contribution to school life. Pupils apply for these roles and receive training. They talk confidently about the impact they have. For example, language ambassadors support pupils who are learning English as an additional language. Pupils understand what bullying is. They say that bullying is unusual and that if it does happen, adults sort it out quickly.
What the school should improve
- There are inconsistencies in how well the curriculum is taught in some subjects. This means that the planned curriculum is not implemented as intended. The school should make checks on the implementation of the curriculum to ensure that pupils learn the key knowledge identified in plans.
- In a few subjects, the school is still refining the curriculum to break down content into smaller steps of knowledge. Consequently, pupils' knowledge in these subjects is not secure. The school should ensure that the key knowledge that pupils must learn and remember is identified in all subjects.
- The school's approach to managing pupils' behaviour is not fully understood by staff. This means that there are inconsistencies in daily routines and expectations around behaviour. This can result in some low-level behaviour that is not challenged. The school should ensure that the behaviour policy is consistently understood and implemented.
