What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 May 2025
The school is warm and welcoming. Staff have high expectations for behaviour. Pupils understand these expectations well. They know that the school rules, 'be ready, be respectful, be safe', help them to know how to behave. As a result, pupils are polite and well-mannered. The school is ambitious for all pupils to succeed. Pupils work hard and achieve well across many subjects. They have positive attitudes to school and enjoy their learning. The school helps pupils to realise its vision that they will become mindful, respectful and tolerant of others. Pupils learn about different cultures and beliefs. For example, they visit different places of worship. The school values encourage pupils to be kind, honest and determined. Pupils understand the importance of being a good friend. They know that there are adults to talk to if they have a worry. This helps pupils to feel happy and safe. Pupils' learning extends beyond the academic. For example, pupils take part in activities in the local community, such as the local hospital's 'lions at large' project. They raise money for charities and support the local foodbank. This helps pupils to learn about the difference their actions can make and to prepare them for their future as responsible citizens.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, teaching does not use information about pupils with SEND well enough. As a result, sometimes pupils do not develop their knowledge as well as they could. The trust should ensure that staff have the expertise to deliver the curriculum consistently well so that pupils with SEND achieve well across all subjects.
- Systems for checking what pupils know and remember are not embedded in some areas of the curriculum. In these subjects, staff subject knowledge is less secure. At times, pupils do not recall and embed their earlier learning. Some pupils have gaps in their understanding. The trust needs to ensure that teachers use assessment effectively to help pupils to know more and remember more in the long term.
