What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 April 2023
Pupils love their school. They do their utmost to live up to the core values of happiness, encouragement, aspiration, respect and teamwork. Pupils agree that the school motto, 'each and every one', describes their school well and that everyone is treated equally. Pupils feel safe in school. Their conduct reflects leaders' high expectations for their behaviour. Pupils follow the school rules diligently and they show high levels of courtesy and respect for each other and for adults. This means that the school is a calm and pleasant place to learn and grow. On the occasions when bullying occurs, it is dealt with swiftly and effectively by staff. Leaders work effectively with families to promote good attendance. Leaders have similarly high aspirations for how well pupils should achieve. To this end, they are committed to providing a high-quality education for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). For the most part, pupils achieve well across a range of subjects. Parents and carers appreciate the support that staff provide for their children. Many parents regard the school as a central part of the local community. Pupils enjoy having a voice in school. For example, they are keen to take on roles as members of the school parliament and acting as representatives on the eco team.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, leaders' refinements to the curriculum are at an earlier stage of development. This means that some older pupils have gaps in their knowledge. Leaders should ensure that, as they roll out the curriculums in these subjects, staff are equipped well to address the gaps in knowledge that pupils may have.
