What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 October 2023
This is a friendly and nurturing school with high ambition for all pupils. The school vision of 'building strong foundations, together, for everyone' is fulfilled through high expectations and a broad curriculum. Leaders, staff and governors share inclusive aspirations, which helps all pupils to learn successfully. Pupils feel safe and happy. Some say that bullying has happened in the past, but adults deal with it well. Otherwise, behaviour is excellent. Pupils hold doors open, help each other out, and show respect and compassion. Some pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are given helpful support to manage their emotions. The well-trained staff use their pastoral expertise to support pupils' mental health and well-being. Through coherently designed assemblies and learning through the curriculum, pupils develop a deep understanding of modern Britain. They challenge stereotypes and embrace diversity, welcoming visitors to share experiences of different faiths. Pupils thrive with responsibility. Everyone, including disadvantaged pupils, has the chance to be an ambassador for the school. Sports leaders, school councillors and 'thinking councillors' are proactive, enhancing the life of the school. Entrepreneurial skills are nurtured with the 'Dragon's Den' challenge each year. Everyone enjoys a role in school shows, where pupils with SEND often shine.
What the school should improve
- Staff do not check pupils' learning accurately in a few foundation subjects. This means they do not consistently identify and address gaps in pupils' understanding, so pupils' learning is slowed. The school should ensure that staff emphasise the most important knowledge and skills that pupils need to learn. They should then check that pupils have learned and remembered the most important content so they achieve highly across the whole curriculum.
