What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 15 October 2024

'People and places' are at the heart of this school. The school strives to give pupils the opportunities and skills they need to be confident and active members of the community in which they live. Pupils develop very positive attitudes to learning, which stand them in good stead for the next stage. There is a culture of mutual respect between staff and pupils. When speaking with visitors, pupils are exceptionally polite. Pupils have high levels of self-motivation and are keen to do well. Staff rarely need to remind pupils of the school's high expectations. Pupils show sensitivity and respect for the many faiths and cultures represented in school and understand the diversity found in modern Britain. As one pupil typically explained, 'I am a Christian, my best friend is a Muslim, but we are all just people, all the same.' The school ensures that pupils are supported well to overcome any barriers to learning. Pupils know they are expected to try hard, and many do. They are enthusiastic about learning with their friends. Despite this, some pupils still do not achieve as well as they should. Pupils benefit from local visits, for example to Edwinstowe, Wollaton Park and a nearby engineering company, to support their learning. Assemblies often give pupils the chance to discuss and debate important issues, helping them to develop their understanding of the wider world.

What the school should improve

  • Learning is not always adapted well enough to meet the needs of pupils with SEND. As a result, these pupils do not always learn as well as they should. The school should ensure that the curriculum is matched closely to the needs of pupils with SEND so that these pupils can learn effectively.
  • A small minority of staff do not think that their views are considered carefully enough when changes are needed to improve the school. As a result, staff morale is not always as positive as it could be. The school must ensure that all staff understand the vital role they play in further developing the school's provision.
