What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 December 2022
Pupils feel happy and safe in the nurturing environment that leaders provide. Respectful relationships are a feature of the school. Pupils have a strong sense of justice. They respect the views of others even if they are different to their own. Bullying is rare. Pupils have every confidence that staff will listen and support them if it happened. Leaders promote an inclusive culture. They expect and enable all pupils to do their best regardless of their background. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), receive the help they need to learn well. Leaders provide a range of clubs to develop pupils' talents and interests. Many pupils benefit from this offer. Leaders help pupils to pursue their interests further, such as by performing with a local orchestra. Leaders foster strong links with the local community. Pupils plan activities to support charitable projects. They develop their understanding of being active citizens and helping others. Parents and carers have positive views of the school. They comment that pupils feel motivated to 'be the best version of themselves'. Parents are particularly positive about the fast action leaders take in response to any concerns.
What the school should improve
- In some foundation subjects, teachers do not use assessment as well as they could. Learning is not always based on what pupils already know or gaps they may have in their knowledge. As a result, some pupils do not build knowledge as well as they could and find it hard to remember their learning. Leaders need to strengthen the effectiveness of assessment in some foundation subjects and provide teachers with the expertise to use assessment effectively.
