What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 November 2023
The core values of the school, including respect, responsibility and kindness, inform much that it does. Pupils feel safe and happy, and they enjoy coming to school. Pupils strive to meet the high expectations set for them in their behaviour and learning. They thrive as a result of the support that they receive. Pupils develop good friendships. They are supportive of one another and display positive attitudes to learning. Pupils demonstrate high standards of behaviour, showing tolerance and respect for others. Pupils learn how to manage their own behaviour through the school's 'Decider Skills' programme. They also know that there are trusted adults in school who they can talk to if they have any worries. The school's personal development curriculum is a strength of the school. Pupils access a range of opportunities and experiences to develop their confidence, character and resilience. Children in the early years benefit from positive relationships with adults. This enables them to flourish as they begin their educational journey. Pupils are wholly at the centre of the school's work. This is lived out through the school's positive relationships with parents and carers. This is a strength and directly benefits the pupils.
What the school should improve
- Some older pupils have not fully benefited from improvements to teaching and the curriculum. This leads to gaps in knowledge for some pupils who are less able to apply what they have been taught in some contexts. The school should take further action to enable all pupils to remember important knowledge and skills across the curriculum.
