What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 26 November 2024
Pupils at this school are treasured. From the moment that they join, they are seen as important individuals who are valued for their uniqueness. Pupils flourish from the strong and meaningful relationships that they have with adults and each other. They thrive in the nurturing and encouraging environment. Pupils benefit significantly from the wealth of provision that is available to support their social, emotional and mental health needs. The school places pupils' safety and well-being as paramount. Pupils' happiness and success, academically and in their wider lives, are at the centre of the school's work. This is borne out in pupils' eagerness to attend school and their ready smiles throughout the school day. Pupils have very positive attitudes towards their education. They meet the school's high standards for their academic success, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils relish learning new knowledge and are highly engaged in their lessons. The school provides an exceptional programme for pupils' personal development. Staff prepare pupils extremely well for life in modern Britain. Pupils learn about people from a wide range of different backgrounds. They show high levels of tolerance and respect towards others. They are helped to be active members of their community.
What the school should improve
- Occasionally, there are inconsistencies in the expectations of grammatical standards in pupils' writing across the curriculum. This hinders a small number of pupils from using their foundational knowledge, notably letter formation, spelling and grammar, as well as they could. The school should ensure that staff consistently apply its high expectations of the accuracy of the written work that pupils produce to the same standard in all subjects.
