What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 January 2023
Pupils personify the school's 'STAR' learning values: self-belief, teamwork, ambition and respect. Because staff typically tease out pupils' strengths, pupils have much self-belief. It ensures they are happy to meet staff's high expectations. For instance, when pupils get a 'pink dot', they keenly take out their blue pen to correct their mistakes. For pupils, teamwork occurs effortlessly. Pupils spot when a peer needs some help with their schoolwork. They do not simply tell their peer the answer. Instead, they give advice about what steps to take. They may direct their peer towards a display or resources to help them reach the right answer. Pupils' ambition particularly shines through in the roles and responsibilities they take on. For example, older pupils come up with lunchtime clubs they wish to lead. They present their ideas confidently to leaders, explaining how they will ensure the club runs well. Consequently, lunchtimes are a hive of activity. Pupils of all ages enjoy the sports and other activities that older pupils oversee. Respect threads through pupils' interactions with each other and staff. Pupils learn from staff to be well mannered and kind. They understand bullying, recognising it rarely occurs in school. Pupils trust staff to resolve issues. So, pupils are safe in school.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, leaders have not set out clearly the specifics they want pupils to learn. Consequently, teachers do not refer to some of what pupils should have learned to help strengthen pupils' understanding. So, some pupils have a weaker recall of information they should know. Leaders should identify the vocabulary, concepts and skills they want pupils to learn, ensuring teachers understand the specifics that pupils need to learn.
- Some of the support for pupils with SEND is not well thought through. Additional support does not always link well to the targets staff set, so this hinders pupils' achievement. Leaders should train staff to put in place specific, measurable and time- focused support, allowing staff to monitor this more effectively to ensure it meets pupils' needs.
