What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 29 April 2025
Pupils are valued and well cared for. Relationships between staff and pupils are warm and respectful. Classrooms are calm and purposeful. Pupils understand and live up to the school's high expectations for behaviour. They feel safe and well supported. Leaders have shaped the school's culture and curriculum to reflect the rich mix of languages, heritage and experience that pupils bring with them. Pupils are thoughtful and inclusive. They talk confidently about fairness and difference. They show respect for each other's views and backgrounds. Older pupils have meaningful responsibilities, such as serving as librarians and school council members, which the school uses to foster leadership skills. A range of extra- curricular activities, from clubs to trips, enable pupils to engage in enrichment opportunities. The school's garden and pond, where pupils grow herbs and look for newts and frogs, are integrated into the teaching of the curriculum. Pupils enjoy their lessons because the school provides clear guidance on how to succeed. The school actively supports them in rising to the challenges of its ambitious and broad curriculum. High expectations, combined with consistent support, ensure that pupils learn well and reach their potential. The school helps pupils to feel proud of their progress and confident in what they accomplish. This fosters their sense of pride in their school.
What the school should improve
- At times, adaptations made for pupils with SEND are inconsistent in quality, which means that, occasionally, these pupils do not learn the curriculum as well as they could. The school should ensure the adaptations to teaching for pupils with SEND are effective and consistently support them in learning the intended curriculum.
- The implementation of the curriculum in some foundation subjects is more developed than it is in others. As a result, pupils have learned some parts of the curriculum more successfully than others. The school should continue to strengthen curriculum delivery so that pupils learn consistently well across all subjects and their learning is supported effectively.
