What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 3 June 2025

Pupils are proud of their inclusive school. They value learning about different cultures and beliefs. For example, pupils celebrate belonging and cultural diversity through heritage projects and the annual food festival. Those who join the school at different points in the school year feel welcomed and settle in quickly. The school has a strong understanding of pupils' needs. Pupils across the school achieve well as learning is carefully matched to individual needs. Pupils demonstrate an excellent understanding of their learning and can recall and apply their knowledge confidently. The school has high expectations for pupils' behaviour and learning. Typically, pupils engage in their learning, and behaviour in lessons is calm and purposeful. Pupils feel confident to share any concerns with adults, which makes them feel safe and happy. Although issues around bullying are addressed, they are not always resolved. The school provides a wealth of opportunities for pupils. For instance, anti-bullying ambassadors provide support to their peers. Members of the pupil parliament are proud of their recent work liaising with school caterers to change the menu. Pupils enjoy school trips and the learning from them.

What the school should improve

  • There are occasions when some pupils' behaviour or bullying concerns are not dealt with effectively and issues remain unresolved. As a result, some pupils do not behave as well as they could. The school should ensure that there is a consistent approach to implementing the behaviour policy and supporting pupils' individual behaviour needs.
