What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 12 November 2024

Pupils, including children in the early years, have positive attitudes to their learning. They are keen to learn and achieve well. Pupils are happy and safe. They are well supported and cared for in school. The school fosters the development of its pupils to 'aim high - live life to the full'. This is embraced by pupils who are full of life and belief in all they can achieve. Pupils' behaviour is excellent in and around the school. They display consistently high levels of self-control and maturity. They are exceedingly respectful of each other and of staff. Pupils accept that everyone is unique. They value diversity and difference. Pupils will readily offer help and support to their peers in their work and play. The school helps pupils to build high levels of resilience in all aspects of school life. As a result, pupils are extremely committed to their education. They relish learning. Pupils have access to a wide and rich set of experiences, which allow them to develop their interests, talents and character. Pupils are very well prepared for the next stage of their education.

What the school should improve

  • In some subjects, where the curriculum is newly implemented, the school has not finalised its systems to assess what pupils know. This means that, in these subjects, some staff do not systematically check how well pupils' learning is building over time. The school should ensure that its assessment systems enable staff to check how well pupils are learning the intended curriculum.
