What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 May 2025
The school has high expectations for pupils. Pupils enjoy learning. They work hard in lessons, take pride in their work and participate very well. Pupils behave very positively. The school is a calm and orderly environment that is well looked after. Pupils know that if they are worried about anything, staff will help them. They play cooperatively together at social times and are very active and well cared for by staff. Pupils have great trust in staff. The school's values of respect, self-belief, honesty and kindness permeate its work. Pupils are polite, kind, respectful, courteous and friendly to each other and to adults. Pupils have a strong sense of equality and fairness. They are clear that all people should be treated equally and say they treat others as they want to be treated. Relationships between staff and pupils are very strong. The school ensures that all pupils are able to participate fully in school life. This includes making adjustments or adaptations to its provision for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, there are inconsistencies in the way the curriculum is taught. For example, sometimes the activities teachers design do not match the intended learning outcomes. This means that pupils do not have sufficient opportunities to practise and apply their key learning and do not remember it as well as they should in those subjects. The school and trust should ensure that they support staff to deliver the curriculum consistently well so that pupils learn well across the curriculum.
