What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 May 2024
Pupils are proud of their inclusive and caring school. They understand the school's values of love, courage, resilience and forgiveness. Pupils respect the school's clear rules and routines, which helps them to feel safe. They know that adults will listen and help them with any worries. Pupils learn to play together kindly and look after each other. New pupils quickly make friends. The school has high ambitions for every pupil, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils live up to the school's expectations by working hard and behaving well, both in lessons and at breaktimes. As a result, pupils achieve well across the curriculum. Pupils benefit from a broad range of interesting experiences. This includes different leadership roles, such as being a house captain or an eco-leader in the school. Pupils take these roles seriously. Pupils benefit from a range of trips connected to their learning, such as visiting Oxford Castle or Hill End to learn about and re-enact a historical battle. Pupils keenly learn about the challenges that people with differences face and how to best provide support and celebrate them.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, essential learning has not been identified as clearly as in the rest of the curriculum. Consequently, not all pupils are able to build on prior learning as effectively as they might. The school should ensure that its ongoing work to identify the specific knowledge that it wants pupils to learn leads to them developing secure knowledge across the whole curriculum.
- In a few subjects, assessment is not yet used consistently well. Staff do not always check whether pupils have learned and remembered what they need to be successful in the future. Consequently, teachers sometimes move pupils on to new content before they are ready. This slows pupils' learning. The school should ensure that assessment is used effectively in all subjects to identify what pupils know and can do.
