What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 2 March 2023
At this school, pupils are happy and are kept safe. This is because of how well staff take care of them. Pupils are given lots of helpful support so they can do their best work. Pupils are expected to work hard. They rise to this challenge with zeal. Pupils behave very well. No time is lost in lessons due to interruptions caused by poor behaviour. Pupils show respect for their peers and staff. Pupils know that bullying is unkind. They say that it happens rarely. If it does, they know support is available. Pupils know they can talk to supportive adults in school. Pupils enjoy being part of this school community. Pupils come from a wide range of backgrounds. They are kind and friendly to everyone. The oldest pupils are proud of their duties as part of the 'pupil parliament'. This also helps them to understand how democracy works in practice. Pupils take part in a range of creative and sports activities. These include 'fab Fridays', where the pupils work together outside of the curriculum on areas they are also studying in the week. They enjoy trips to local places of interest, which brings learning to life.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, teachers do not receive the clarity, guidance and support they need to deliver the curriculum effectively. Consequently, in these subjects, pupils do not achieve as well as they should. Leaders should ensure that, in these curriculum areas, subject leaders develop their curriculum thinking and expertise. This will enable them to provide subject-specific guidance for teachers in the effective delivery of the curriculum so that pupils achieve well.
