What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 September 2023
Pupils and staff work hard to reflect the school's values of honesty, awareness and responsibility in all aspects of school life. Pupils enjoy coming to school. Staff greet pupils warmly as they enter the school gates, ensuring a purposeful start to the day ahead. Pupils are polite and respectful towards each other. They behave well in lessons and when moving around the school. Pupils concentrate during learning time and are motivated to achieve well. This is because staff have high expectations of them. Pupils feel happy and safe because they know staff will listen to them if they have a concern. Pupils take on positions of responsibility. This includes acting as lunchtime monitors, mental health ambassadors and librarians. Pupil librarians take pride in their role. They support younger pupils to choose books and to follow the library rules. Pupils are taught about different faiths and cultures. Visiting speakers from a range of faiths explain their beliefs to pupils. Pupils are encouraged to understand and respect different beliefs and customs. Overall, pupils achieve well. Even though some pupils may arrive at different times during the school year, staff do all they can to ensure they settle in quickly and achieve well.
What the school should improve
- On a few occasions, pupils with SEND do not receive effective support. This means that some pupils do not achieve as well as they could. The school needs to ensure that pupils with SEND consistently receive support that is precisely tailored to their needs so that they achieve well in all subjects.
- In a few subjects at the earlier stages of development, the curriculum is not delivered as intended. This means that some pupils have gaps in their learning. The school needs to ensure that the curriculum is consistently delivered as intended and that processes are in place to check pupils are retaining key skills, knowledge and vocabulary.
