What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 February 2024
Pupils are happy to belong to this caring school that is at the heart of the local community. They know that staff care for them well. Strong relationships with staff help pupils, including children in the early years, to feel settled in school. Pupils appreciate that there is a trusted adult who they can turn to if they have any worries or concerns. The school has high expectations of what pupils can achieve, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Most pupils rise to meet these high standards. Typically, pupils achieve well. They are well prepared for the next stage of their education. Pupils enjoy learning, and they behave well. Staff's consistent approach to managing behaviour helps pupils to demonstrate positive attitudes in lessons. Pupils develop strong friendships at school. Older pupils actively support younger pupils throughout the school day. For example, play leaders help younger pupils to try new sports and to play safely at lunchtime. The school provides numerous enrichment opportunities for pupils to pursue their talents and interests, such as pickleball, gardening and a wide range of sporting activities. Pupils take great pride in representing their school in, for example, choral performances and in sports competitions.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, the school's strategies to assess pupils' learning are not matched to the knowledge in the curriculum carefully enough. On occasion, this can hinder teachers from checking that pupils have learned essential knowledge securely. The school should ensure that approaches to assessment in these remaining subjects enable teachers to identify and address any gaps in pupils' knowledge swiftly and accurately.
