What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 February 2023
Leaders have created a school in which their vision of 'healthy, happy, resilient and successful' pupils guides every aspect of school life. Parents and carers typically agree, expressing the view that this is 'a kind, nurturing school'. Pupils feel happy and safe. Relationships throughout the school are welcoming and respectful. Pupils listen politely to the views of others and discuss sensitive issues with maturity. Leaders have high expectations of behaviour, and pupils respond well to these. Bullying is rare, and leaders act decisively when it does take place. Leaders celebrate pupils' achievements through regular reward assemblies and trips. Pupils value these, and work hard to achieve the 'positive points' that earn them. Pupils can develop leadership skills through positions of responsibility. Sports representatives and members of the school council help leaders to improve the school. Pupils receive training to become peer mentors, anti-bullying coordinators and mental health first aiders. Pupils use this training to support their peers. Leaders enhance the curriculum through trips and events. Pupils learn about team- building through an outdoor adventure residential trip. A visiting theatre company teaches pupils about 'verbatim theatre', and pupils visit the Design Museum to investigate the history of design.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes, teachers do not check and intervene to ensure pupils understand important knowledge before they move on. This can lead to gaps in pupils' knowledge that can slow progression through the curriculum. Leaders should ensure that teachers check on prior learning before introducing new knowledge that builds on it.
- Some pupils do not commonly read outside of lessons. This limits their opportunities to increase their vocabulary, fluency and comprehension as well as their wider knowledge. Leaders should ensure that all pupils read regularly.
