What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 6 March 2024

This is a happy and inclusive school, where everyone is known and valued. Many pupils join at different points during the year. They are made to feel welcome, and they settle in very quickly. The school works hard to understand the needs of its pupils and ensure that these are catered for well. Pupils are kept safe at school. They know that the adults in school will help them if they have any concerns. The school wants pupils to 'strive for excellence every day'. Pupils respond to these high expectations and work hard in lessons. They listen carefully to instructions. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) achieve well, particularly in writing. The school's work to ensure that pupils achieve as highly across the whole curriculum is a top priority for leaders and staff. Pupils behave well, in and out of lessons. They are courteous, polite and respectful. Overall, the rates of pupils' attendance match those found nationally. Where the school identifies a concern, it does all that it can to help pupils to improve their attendance. The school provides opportunities for pupils to engage with the local and wider community. For example, pupils visit the local care home and lead school fundraising activities to support the local food bank.

What the school should improve

  • In a few areas of the curriculum, the changes made to the curriculum to improve pupils' learning are still being embedded. How well pupils develop secure knowledge of the subject content in these areas is less effective than leaders' aspirational aims. The school should continue to implement these changes and regularly check that they have the desired impact so that pupils achieve as well in these subjects as they do in others.
  • Occasionally, teaching provides models and examples that are not as accurate as they should be in supporting pupils with new learning. When this happens, it reduces how successfully pupils are helped to acquire a secure understanding of new concepts. The school needs to ensure the models and examples used in teaching are accurate and effective in supporting the development of pupils' knowledge and understanding.
