What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 9 July 2024

This is a very inclusive school. Pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are happy and value their friendships. Their happiness is also displayed in the warmth they show for their teachers. The school sets high expectations for pupils' achievement and personal development. There are positive steps towards pupils achieving their best in all subjects. This is a priority for the school. Pupils develop their personal skills well through a strong personal, social and health education curriculum. They are responsible young citizens. Pupils' behaviour in and beyond the classroom is excellent. At breaktimes they play well and have a lot of fun together. Pupils are respectful of their peers and staff. They feel safe and are taught to keep themselves out of danger. The school community is highly valued by pupils, staff and families. The community council is a strong pupil and parent group that works together for the school, the local community and beyond. For example, the pupil 'eco-councillors' wrote a letter to a local company for a donation of plants. Following their success, they planted flowers in the local community. Parents and carers appreciate the care and regular communication the school provides.

What the school should improve

  • In a few subjects, the key knowledge and skills pupils need to learn and remember are not sufficiently identified. This means pupils do not build their knowledge deeply, including subject-specific vocabulary. The school should ensure that the important ideas that pupils need to know well are defined so that pupils are supported to remember key knowledge over time.
