What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 September 2023
Pupils are proud to attend this welcoming community school. Teachers inspire pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), to have high aspirations. Staff help pupils to enjoy their learning and to achieve well. Parents and carers value the range of opportunities for them to be involved in the life of the school. For example, during Ramadan, the school hosts a community Iftar meal, which many pupils, families and staff of all faiths join to celebrate breaking the day's fast. Pupils are kind and friendly to each other. At playtimes, staff make sure there are lots of activities for pupils to enjoy. Anti-bullying ambassadors help to sort out any disagreements that may arise. Pupils feel safe to be themselves. They know that other pupils will respect their cultures and beliefs. Pupils are keen to volunteer their time to help to make the school better. For example, pupils help to deliver communal worship and to look after the reflection spaces which are found in classrooms. Pupils can also grow and harvest fruit and vegetables in the school garden. This helps to foster a sense of community and belonging, which is felt throughout the school.
What the school should improve
- Some areas of the school's curriculum have recently been redesigned. As a result, some older pupils have not benefited from these improved curriculums over time. This means that, in one or two subjects, some older pupils have gaps in their knowledge. The school should support teachers to identify and address these gaps in pupils' knowledge to ensure that they are fully prepared for the next stage in their education.
