What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 November 2023
Pupils at this school are enthusiastic about their learning and their school life. They are proud to be part of an inclusive school community. One pupil summed up the views of many, saying: 'Everyone, from anywhere in the world, is welcome here.' Leaders have high expectations for how pupils and adults should treat each other. They teach pupils what behaviour they expect. As a result, pupils behave well across the school. Pupils feel safe. They play happily together in the school's carefully designed zones, such as the outdoor gym and the designated quiet spaces. On the rare occasions when behaviour is less positive, including any bullying, staff address this swiftly and effectively. Pupils benefit from a well-defined and ambitious curriculum. Pupils take the school's commitment to 'learning without limits' seriously. They appreciate the support they get from staff to help them do their best. As a result, they typically achieve well. Pupils enjoy the opportunities that support their learning. These include a range of clubs, such as chess, dance and football, to develop pupils' interests. Visits from theatre companies and regular practical lessons in the grounds around the school enrich and enthuse pupils' love of learning.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, work in lessons and checks on what pupils' have learned are not precise enough. As a result, pupils sometimes have gaps in their learning and are not able to connect new learning to what they have learned before. The school should ensure that staff emphasise the most important content and then check that pupils have learned and remembered it over time.
- Staff do not always consider how best to teach each subject so that all pupils, including those with SEND, can access the learning easily. This means that some pupils do not quickly secure new ideas and knowledge. The school should help and support staff to know how they can adapt learning appropriately to support all pupils effectively.
