What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 December 2024
The school provides a nurturing environment in which pupils are happy and feel safe. Pupils know and understand the school's core values of 'growth, respect and inclusion'. Their positive behaviour shows that they strive to uphold these values. Pupils are respectful of their peers and adults. They know that there are trusted adults to talk to if they have any worries. The school forms strong relationships with families. Parents and carers are welcomed and encouraged to join in with school life. Pupils enjoy coming to school and have positive attitudes towards learning. They learn in a calm, safe environment. Pupils try hard to live up to the school's high expectations and many achieve well. Those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive the support that they need. Pupils take part in various activities within and beyond the school. This includes a range of clubs and community projects. The personal development of pupils is well supported by the school. Pupils learn about the importance of contributing to their school and their local area. They take particular pride in their leadership roles, such as peer mentors, asthma champions and student councillors.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, the checks on what pupils remember over time are not effective enough. This means that gaps in learning persist. This makes it difficult for pupils to build new knowledge when they encounter new learning. The school should ensure that staff have the necessary expertise to check pupils' learning over time and address misconceptions so that pupils learn the curriculum with greater success.
- At times, the curriculum is not delivered as well as the school intends. This means that, at times, some of the learning activities that teachers design do not best match the needs of pupils. This sometimes hinders pupils' progress through the curriculum. The school should ensure that the curriculum is being delivered consistently well so that pupils can learn equally successfully across all subjects, including writing.
