What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 October 2023
Pupils are proud to attend this inclusive, welcoming school. Building strong relationships is at the heart of its work. Parents and carers talk positively about the care that staff show and how the school helps pupils to do their best. Pupils feel safe. They trust adults to listen to them if they have any worries or concerns. Pupils behave well and treat each other with respect. They understand the school rules and follow them, both in and out of the classroom. This starts in the early years, where children settle to new routines and behave well. The school has high expectations for what all pupils can achieve, both academically and personally. Pupils know what staff expect of them. In lessons, pupils concentrate well on their learning. Pupils have opportunities to develop their skills and interests. For example, taking part in a dance event with a famous ballerina. The school encourages pupils to be fully involved in changes. For example, designing and equipping the new school library. Pupils enjoy the range of extra-curricular activities and visits, such as skateboarding, construction and school choir. Older pupils value having the responsibility of being buddies for younger pupils.
What the school should improve
- Assessment is still being developed in some subjects. In these subjects, it is not yet used well enough to check that pupils have securely remembered the knowledge they have been taught. As a result, pupils do not build their knowledge well enough over time. The trust needs to ensure that teachers use assessment effectively across all subjects and use this information to inform future learning.
- Pupils do not demonstrate a complete understanding of the fundamental British values. This means that they are not fully prepared for life in modern Britain. The trust needs to ensure that it identifies specific opportunities for the teaching of these values, including meaningful opportunities for pupils to embed this knowledge.
