What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 2 July 2024

Pupils enjoy attending this welcoming school. They are well cared for by staff who establish positive relationships with them. Pupils are happy and safe in school. The school has high expectations for pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils are well prepared for the next stage of their education. Most pupils know how to behave well and they respond to the expectations of staff. In lessons, the majority of pupils focus well on their learning. However, this is not consistently the case. Some pupils are upset by the poor behaviour of some of their peers in lessons and social times which is not addressed well enough. The school strives for pupils to be well prepared for the next stage of their education and for their future lives. Pupils raise money for charity. They take on roles of responsibility such as digital leaders. The school provides a wide range of extra- curricular clubs and activities at playtimes, lunchtimes and after school. The opportunity for pupils to take part in a range of sports clubs and teams is a strength of the school. Pupils also have the opportunity to learn a musical instrument. Pupils feel safe in school. They know that they can share any worries they have with understanding and caring adults.

What the school should improve

  • New behaviour systems are not securely embedded. On occasions, poor behaviour by some pupils in lessons and social times is not consistently addressed. This upsets some pupils and their parents. The school should implement new strategies with greater purpose to ensure good standards of behaviour at all times.
