What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 16 May 2023
The school is at the heart of the community. Pupils describe it as one big happy family. Pupils' behaviour and outlook encapsulate the school motto of 'believe in ourselves; be the best we can be'. Pupils are thoughtful and have a love of learning. Pupils reflect on their learning to identify what they can do to improve in the future. Leaders plan time to listen to what pupils want. As a result, pupils express themselves with confidence. Staff have high expectations. There are clear routines and structures throughout the school. As a result, pupils behave well and the school is calm. Pupils are respectful and listen to one another's point of view Strong pastoral support means pupils feel well cared for. They know that they can speak to any adult if they need support. Pupils understand the importance of mental health. Leaders build close bonds with families to help pupils to achieve well. Parents and carers are supportive of the school and its leaders. They find school leaders approachable and know that leaders will respond to any concerns they have.
What the school should improve
- The implementation of some subjects in the wider curriculum is not developed as well as others. As a result, pupils do not learn as well as they could. Leaders need to improve the effectiveness of pupils' recall of knowledge and skills in all subjects so that they know more and remember more over time.
