What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 28 September 2021

Leaders and staff are ambitious for all pupils. The school's curriculum inspires and challenges them. It prepares them well for the next stage in their education. Pupils understand the importance of being a 'try again tortoise'. To practise, work hard and get better. One pupil commented that answering tricky questions helps their 'brain grow'. Pupils at this school love learning. Each year, leaders carefully plan pupils' personal development. They go beyond the curriculum to help pupils 'be the best you can be'. The school's cultural calendar includes enrichment activities such as aspiration week and road safety week. These events teach pupils important life skills. Pupils take on roles of responsibility with great pride. For example, as school councillors, pupils say they 'make great ideas to improve the school' and are expected to set an example to others. Pupils know right from wrong and behave well. Staff and pupils live the school values. They treat each other with respect and kindness. Staff ensure pupils know the difference between bullying and falling out. Pupils are confident that if bullying should happen, staff will sort it out. Pupils feel safe in school. Parents believe this is because staff 'genuinely care about the children'.

What the school should improve

  • In some parts of the curriculum, the key concepts leaders want pupils to know and remember are not clearly thought out. Teachers do not identify what pupils must know. Consequently, pupils do not make connections between concepts and build their knowledge and skills over time. Subject leaders need to identify the key concepts pupils must know and remember across the curriculum.
