What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 8 April 2025
The school's mantra, 'believe, achieve and celebrate', is at the heart of its work. The school provides high-quality pastoral support to pupils and their families. It teaches pupils how to be safe, keep mentally well and stay active. The school is ambitious for its pupils. Staff want them to do well. Pupils are keen to learn, and most achieve well. However, some pupils do not remember the knowledge they have been taught, which slows the progress they make. In addition, a number of pupils do not attend school well enough and, therefore, are missing out on their education. Staff have high expectations of pupils' behaviour. Pupils and staff follow the school's approach to behaviour. Pupils behave sensibly in lessons and during social situations. When pupils struggle with their emotions, staff take effective and supportive action. This enables pupils to get back to their learning. Pupils know the importance of being respectful, trustworthy and empathetic, three of the school's core values. Pupils show kindness and are supportive of one another. The provision for pupils' wider development is a strength. Pupils enjoy the opportunities on offer, such as cross-country, Young Voices and gardening. These activities develop pupils' interests and talents well.
What the school should improve
- Some pupils do not attend school regularly enough. As a result, these pupils do not build their knowledge well over time and have gaps in their learning. The school needs to continue to modify and implement the attendance strategy and work with families in ensuring that pupils attend regularly to enable them to learn more successfully over time.
- Some pupils are not able to remember the key knowledge across the subjects they study. This can hinder the depth of their learning. The school should ensure that the implementation of the curriculum enables pupils to secure their knowledge more deeply.
- Many of the governing body members are new to the school, and there remain several vacancies. Therefore, they have not had the time to assure themselves of the impact of the school's work in all areas. The school needs to continue to develop the role of the governors so they can hold leaders to account and fully develop the strategic oversight of the school's work.
