What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 March 2024
Pupils, including children in the early years, thrive at this school. They embrace the high ambition that the school has for their academic achievement. Pupils are well prepared for the demands of secondary school. They know that staff care for them deeply and want them to succeed. Pupils said that staff encourage them to be themselves while pushing them to be their best. The school has high expectations for pupils' behaviour. Pupils are respectful and polite. They value the rewards that they receive for their positive behaviour, for example 'star of the week' or a mention in the golden book. Pupils of all ages are confident and articulate. They have a deep understanding of equality and they explained that, at this school, everyone is accepted for who they are. Pupils were unanimous in their view that they can talk to staff about any problems that they may have. Pupils said that staff help them to manage their emotions well. This helps pupils to feel safe. They are proud ambassadors for their school, and they happily attend each day. Pupils appreciate the school's support for their mental health. For instance, they described 'grounding sessions', where they are encouraged to think positively. Pupils said that they learn the importance of loving themselves, loving others and loving the world. They spoke enthusiastically about participating in yoga and meditation.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of foundation subjects, the school's current assessment systems do not enable teachers to check how deeply pupils have secured knowledge over time. This sometimes hinders pupils from demonstrating a rich body of subject knowledge. As the school refines its approaches to assessment, it should ensure that teachers are fully equipped to support pupils to embed their knowledge fluently in the long term.
