What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 October 2022
The school is a friendly, happy and inclusive place for pupils to learn. Leaders and staff aspire for all pupils to succeed. The school's motto, 'Nature, Nurture, Knowledge', is carefully woven into exciting learning experiences for pupils. Pupils are excited to find things out and keen to do their best. As a result, there is a purposeful buzz of activity throughout the school. Pupils in the 'Blossoms' specialist provision are included in all aspects of school life. Parents and carers are delighted with how well their children learn. Comments from parents included: 'My child is flourishing,' and 'They have made big improvements.' Pupils are caring, polite and respectful. They listen to others and behave well because they understand what is expected of them. Pupils understand that everyone is different and they accept people for who they are. Pastoral provision is exceptionally effective. Staff are kind and supportive. They develop good relationships with pupils. As a result, pupils feel safe and well cared for. Pupils confirm that bullying is rare.

What the school should improve
- Some pupils have gaps in their knowledge. This means that they are unable to build their knowledge as well as they could. Leaders should continue to provide pupils with sharply focused support, so that they know more and remember more.
