What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 22 October 2024
Pupils learn in a safe, inclusive and aspirational environment. The school has high expectations for pupils' achievement and behaviour. An increasing number of pupils meet these expectations. Pupils enjoy coming to school. This is reflected in their improving attendance. The school has thought carefully about how it encourages and promotes regular attendance. Leaders are determined to prepare pupils well for life beyond the school. In addition to an ambitious curriculum, the school has a well-thought-out careers programme. Pupils have opportunities to meet visitors from a range of different professions. The programme inspires pupils to try their best so that they can pursue their career aspirations later in life. Pupils are confident and happy. Pupils are keen to share their learning with visitors. Children in the early years interact well with each other. They play cooperatively and share the resources that are available to them. Older pupils talk about how it is a 'bully free school'. They recognise that, while bullying may have been an issue in the past, it very rarely happens now. Incidents of poor behaviour have significantly reduced over time. The school environment is calm and orderly.
What the school should improve
- Some of the ways in which the school is trying to measure the progress of pupils with SEND are not practical. It is difficult for staff to know whether pupils are achieving the targets set. The school should work to improve its process for monitoring the effectiveness of provision for pupils with SEND.
- The school does not ensure that staff check whether pupils are remembering what they have been taught in a small number of subjects. Consequently, pupils find it difficult to articulate their learning in these subjects and have gaps in their knowledge. The school should support staff to use assessment strategies effectively to accurately identify where pupils may need to revisit previous learning.
