What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 30 April 2024
Pupils at this school are enthusiastic and polite young people. They enjoy learning in a safe and caring environment. Staff look after them well, ensuring their safety and well-being. Pupils become confident and increasingly independent over their time at the school. They take their roles as eco warriors, school councillors and active travel ambassadors very seriously. Through these roles, they gain valuable insights into democracy and responsibility. The school strives for all pupils to achieve well, both academically and in their personal development. Pupils achieve well and develop into confident learners. Pupils listen carefully to their teachers. Most pupils behave well. The lunch hall is a sociable and calm place. Pupils appreciate being able to choose from a range of indoor and outdoor activities. This helps them to have a 'Happy Lunchtime'. The school ensures that pupils have opportunities to celebrate their achievements and interests, whether in or out of school, in assemblies. Pupils develop a sense of justice. They celebrate and respect differences and recognise the importance of equality. They demonstrate empathy for those less fortunate than themselves. This shapes them into good citizens ready for their next stage of education.
What the school should improve
- Teachers do not always check whether pupils have mastered important knowledge and skills in some subjects, or in their writing. Consequently, some pupils have not attained basic skills needed before moving on to more complex tasks. The school must ensure that pupils can develop and practise using essential knowledge and skills before tackling more complex tasks.
- Leaders do not check the quality of the curriculum in some subjects well enough. Consequently, they lack comprehensive insight into pupils' achievements and areas needing improvement. The school should check how well pupils are achieving in all subjects so that any weaknesses in learning are promptly identified and addressed.
