What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 20 February 2024
Pupils are proud of their school. They enjoy learning and making new friends. Pupils form a strong bond with the adults around them. They know that staff will listen to them if they are worried about anything. Pupils know that the school wants the best for them. They strive to meet these high expectations by working hard in lessons. Learning is rarely disrupted by poor behaviour. Pupils are delighted when staff praise them for their efforts. Pupils are successful in their learning over time. When they reach the end of key stage 2, they achieve well in national tests. Pupils are considerate and kind. They understand the importance of treating everyone equally, regardless of difference. The school helps pupils to broaden their awareness of other cultures and religions, for example by taking part in a twinning project with a school in an inner-city area. This encourages pupils to see themselves as members of a diverse and multicultural modern society. Pupils benefit from varied opportunities to contribute to school life, such as being a member of the school council. In addition, many pupils delight in representing the school in sporting competitions. They told the inspector that this helps them to grow in confidence.
What the school should improve
- In a minority of subjects, staff do not deliver the curriculum effectively enough to make sure that pupils learn the content of the curriculum. This hinders some pupils from building their knowledge over time. The school should ensure that staff receive effective support and guidance to deliver subject curriculums consistently well.
