What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 12 November 2024
Pupils thrive at this happy and busy school. They love learning and are eager to participate in lessons. They are extremely proud of their school and work hard to meet its high expectations. As a result, most work is of a high standard. Pupils achieve well in many subjects and excel in reading and mathematics. They leave the school well prepared for secondary education and beyond. Pupils behave exceptionally in lessons and around school. They have positive attitudes to learning and high aspirations for the future. They know that concentration and perseverance play an important part in their education. Pupils are cooperative and supportive when working in pairs or groups. They enjoy school, feel safe and attend regularly. Pupils relish the opportunities provided to develop their character and leadership skills. They make a positive contribution to school life in their various roles. This includes, for example, mental health champions, house captains, or running lunchtime clubs for other pupils. The school is highly inclusive, with dedicated and skilled staff. It is committed to ensuring that all pupils succeed and flourish. This includes those with complex needs in the specially resourced provision for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
What the school should improve
- On occasion, the curriculum is not implemented as well as intended for pupils who have barriers to learning, such as pupils with SEND. At times, some staff do not adapt the tasks set sufficiently well to meet pupils' needs or ensure that pupils are working with enough precision in some subjects. As a result, a small number of pupils do not achieve as well as they could. The school should ensure that staff have the knowledge and expertise they need to adapt their teaching to meet the needs of pupils who find learning more challenging, including pupils with SEND.
