What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 12 June 2024
This is a welcoming and inclusive school, where all pupils are valued and supported, whatever their needs may be. There is a positive culture built on a shared commitment for pupils to 'Believe, Wonder, Progress, Succeed'. Pupils portray a great sense of belonging to the school community. They are happy to come to school and enjoy learning. They are very enthusiastic about the 'forest school', where, they said, they have fun but also learn to work together, persevere and take risks. Pupils' well-being is crucial to the school and, as a result, pupils feel very well cared for and safe. Staff know the pupils very well and there are positive, trusting relationships between pupils and staff. Pupils know there are always adults who can help them with their mental health and well-being if they have a problem or concern. Pupils meet the school's high expectations for learning and what they can achieve, whatever their starting points. Everyone is encouraged to do their very best. Pupils are proud of their achievements. Pupils behave well in lessons, around the school and in the playground. They work and play well together and show respect for each other and adults.
What the school should improve
- The curriculum is not as well developed in a few subjects as it is in others. This means that sometimes pupils are not yet achieving the ambitious aims set by the school across the whole curriculum. The school needs to ensure that the curriculum in every subject is designed and sequenced so that learning builds cumulatively and pupils consistently achieve as well as they can in all subjects.
