What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 12 September 2023
This is an ambitious school. There is a resolute focus and drive for improvement. At the heart of decision-making are pupils' needs. The school is determined that all pupils should achieve, particularly those who are disadvantaged. A comment by one parent, typical of many parents and carers, was: 'You can feel the positive energy that will allow our children to flourish.' Central to the school are its values of 'Respect, Equality, Determination, Kindness, Honesty, Resilience'. Pupils understand the significance of these values and aspire to live by them. The school celebrates these in the 'VIP assembly'. When chosen for demonstrating these values, pupils are proud to walk down the red carpet to receive their award. Pupils behave well. They say bullying rarely happens. Pupils feel safe and enjoy coming to school. There are a range of opportunities for pupils to develop beyond the academic. Residential trips help pupils to experience adventure sports and to develop character. There is a high emphasis placed on pupils' physical and cultural development. Pupils experience a range of sports. There are opportunities to learn to play instruments, such as the guitar, ukelele and violin. Visits to places of interest enrich the curriculum.
What the school should improve
- The key knowledge of some elements of fundamental British values is not always being made as explicit as it could be. As a consequence, a few pupils do not yet have a clear understanding of what fundamental British values are or the significance of them in modern Britain. The school should ensure that all pupils have the opportunity to learn about these values, to prepare them thoroughly for life in British society.
