What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 6 March 2024
The school is a warm community where pupils are cared for. The school is inclusive and teaches pupils to appreciate differences. They learn about different faiths, cultures and abilities, ensuring everyone feels welcome in the school. One pupil said, 'Everyone is welcome here, and everyone is quite different.' As a result, pupils, including those who are disadvantaged and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), feel included and actively participate in the school community. Pupils are enthusiastic members of the wider community. They are keen to do 'Bash the Trash' litter-picking and work with local care homes. Pupils and staff enjoy warm and positive relationships. Pupils know they can speak to someone about any worries and are confident these will be addressed quickly. The school has undergone a leadership transition, and high ambitions for behaviour and learning have been clearly established. Pupils respond well to leaders' expectations and behave well. The school has introduced substantial changes to the curriculum this year. The ambition for the new curriculum is reflected in pupils' enthusiasm and improved learning. As a result, pupils remember the new curriculum content well and are proud of their achievements.
What the school should improve
- Some pupils do not attend regularly enough. They miss too much of their learning, resulting in gaps in knowledge. The school must continue to work with families to support them to improve pupils' attendance, especially those who are disadvantaged, including those with SEND.
- The quality of teaching in a few subjects is not yet as strong as the rest. This means that pupils' learning is inconsistent. The school should equip staff with secure subject knowledge to teach across the curriculum, ensure they emphasise the most important content and check that pupils have learned and remembered it.
