What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 31 January 2023
Pupils enjoy being part of their school community. Staff and pupils describe the school as like being part of one big family. Pupils say that everyone is really kind and that if they need help, they know they have an adult or a friend who can help them. They are well cared for and feel happy and safe at school. Pupils behave well in classrooms and around the school. There are high expectations of behaviour. Pupils follow well-established routines when moving from one activity to another. In lessons, pupils are engaged and attentive. They learn well because of a curriculum that includes a broad range of interesting subjects and lessons. Pupils say that there is no bullying and that they know that adults would help them if it occurred. Staff provide pupils with a wide range of extra-curricular activities. Pupils also enjoy regular outdoor learning sessions. Pupils talk enthusiastically about educational visits and visitors to school. School councillors spoke of their enjoyment in welcoming and meeting the Prime Minister when he visited the school. Leaders and staff have high expectations of what pupils can achieve and have planned a suitably ambitious curriculum. This prepares them well for the next stage of their education.
What the school should improve
- Some areas of the curriculum are not as well established as others. Pupils' learning is less secure in these areas. Leaders need to further embed the curriculum so that pupils learn well across all subjects.
- Pupils are not taught sufficiently well about different faiths, healthy relationships and wider British values. This is limiting aspects of their personal development and their readiness for life in modern Britain. Leaders should ensure that pupils' personal development is further enhanced.
