What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 24 September 2024

Pupils are very happy to attend this school. They are proud to welcome new pupils and have a shared appreciation of the school's highly positive culture. The school has ensured that routines and expectations are well known, meaning at breaktime and lunchtime, pupils relax and enjoy each other's company. Pupils are welcoming to visitors and are interested in finding out more about them. They excitedly recall visits from the police and fire brigade who help teach them about staying safe. Pupils respond positively to teachers and keenly participate in discussions and group learning. Children in early years are confident to share their ideas and questions, making the most of the range of activities on offer. Pupils feel safe at school and know who to talk to if they have concerns. They know that adults will provide the necessary help if they need it. Pupils appreciate how they are taught to stay mentally healthy and the support available when necessary. Pupils identify 'friendship' and 'teachers' as two of the best aspects of the school. They feel the support provided helps them to meet the school's high expectations.

What the school should improve

  • In some subjects, staff do not yet have the subject knowledge they need to teach the curriculum as intended. Because of this, not all pupils get the support they need, and they do not learn as much as they should. Leaders should ensure all staff have the subject knowledge needed to be able to teach the full curriculum as intended.
  • The school's wider personal development offer, including opportunities for pupils to develop talents and interests, is not as well developed as the academic curriculum. This means that pupils do not gain as much as they could from their wider personal development education. Leaders must ensure that the school provides sufficient opportunities for all pupils to benefit fully from their broader education.
