What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 5 December 2023
This is an inclusive, kind, and happy school. Pupils learn in a calm and caring environment. Leaders recognise that pupils benefit from consistency and stability, and this is seen across the school. This means that pupils have very clear routines, and they develop strong habits for learning from the very start of their time in school. Pupils behave exceptionally well around the school. They are polite and are keen to help others. The very strong ethos of inclusion is exemplified by the teaching of British Sign Language. All pupils learn to sign, which means that they can communicate with the deaf pupils in the school, as well as learning a useful life skill. Pupils follow an interesting and well-thought-out curriculum. This exceeds the scope of the national curriculum. For example, in physical education (PE) pupils learn to play golf. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are particularly well supported. Teachers and leaders know their pupils very well. This also helps them to keep pupils safe. A range of interesting trips and activities enrich the curriculum and develop pupils' skills. The recent rock concert featured pupils from all backgrounds and abilities. Pupils are proud of their school.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes, the work that pupils are given is not sufficiently ambitious. This means that some pupils are not able to achieve as well as they could. The school should work with staff to raise expectations, so that pupils learn more complex content and achieve stronger outcomes.
