What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 20 June 2023
Leaders have worked with steely determination to vastly improve the school in a short space of time. Leaders and staff are highly ambitious for pupils. This is a fully inclusive school where all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are supported to flourish and achieve well. Pupils are happy, behave well and show excellent manners. They hold doors open for others and say please and thank you. Staff have established clear routines for behaviour that are consistently applied across the school. Pupils say that they sometimes fall out with their friends but this does not happen very often. This was summed up by a pupil who said, 'Everyone just gets along, no one is sad. No one is ever left out.' Pupils are proud of their school and rightly so. They take on a variety of roles and responsibilities, for example bag monitors, play leaders and hall monitors. School councillors take an active role in making decisions about the school, such as the school menu design and the design of the playground.
What the school should improve
- In some foundation subjects, leaders' curriculum thinking is not as well refined or sufficiently embedded as it is in other subjects. This means that pupils do not learn the curriculum as well as they could. Subject leaders should identify the precise component knowledge that pupils need to know and remember in some foundation subjects.
- While subject leaders are beginning to ensure that the curriculum is ambitious, the impact of recent changes have not yet been fully monitored. This means that leaders are not fully clear about the impact of their work on pupils' outcomes in their subjects. Subject leaders should monitor the impact of recent changes to check how well pupils learn the intended curriculum.
