What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 18 July 2023
Pupils are cherished at this vibrant school. They are happy and feel safe. Pupils live out the school values of respect, teamwork, honesty, self-belief and empathy. Older pupils delight in taking on roles of responsibility. For example, 'online safety ambassadors' talk to pupils in assembly about staying safe when online. Pupils support local and global charities and learn about the importance of helping others. Pupils show genuine care for one another. The 'buddies' champion positive behaviour during playtimes and make sure that nobody is left out. Pupils enjoy spending time in the sensory garden and exploring the school grounds. They behave well both in class and when at play. If bullying happens, pupils know that a trusted adult will help to resolve it quickly. Pupils enjoy their time in class and most achieve well. They develop confidence because of the well-structured support that they receive. Staff ensure that the curriculum meets pupils' needs and interests well. This reflects and celebrates the cultural diversity of pupils in the school. Their artwork is celebrated through the corridors and parents delight in pupils' musical performances.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, teachers are not clear about what pupils know and remember. They do not routinely identify or address gaps in pupils' learning. As a result, pupils' learning is not as secure as it could be. Leaders should ensure that teachers assess what pupils know and remember and use this information to plan for future learning.
