What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 1 November 2023
Pupils and their families feel welcome here. The school encourages pupils to treat everyone equally and with respect. Staff offer a range of support to meet the needs of all pupils, such as the 'Nurture Nest', which provides support for pupils' emotional and social development. Staff make sure that pupils are kept safe. Pupils talk to staff or use 'worry boxes' if they have any concerns. Pupils enjoy their learning and they achieve highly. Beyond academic goals, the school encourages pupils to work towards a set of 'personal goals,' which include being ethical and communicating clearly. Pupils enjoy finding out about significant people from diverse backgrounds who demonstrate these traits. For example, pupils learned about a famous sports player and spoke about how they were inspired to be resilient like him. The school is committed to broadening pupils' horizons and aspirations. Leaders ensure that all pupils have the same opportunities to take part in all that the school organises. Pupils spoke enthusiastically about 'ticking off' experiences that they have through the 'Pioneer Passport'. These range from theatre and museum visits to cooking a healthy meal and going on a picnic. Many pupils attend the wide range of clubs on offer, including various sports, gardening and Spanish.
What the school should improve
- There is some variability in how well the curriculum is delivered. Sometimes, work that the school sets does not support pupils in learning subject-specific content. Occasionally, teaching does not check carefully that pupils have understood what they are learning before moving on to new content. This affects how effectively pupils understand and recall curriculum content. The school should ensure that teaching supports pupils to know more and remember more in all subjects.
