What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 29 November 2022

One pupil told inspectors that 'it is all about our education at this school'. Inspectors agree. Leaders' work to improve behaviour means pupils feel safe at school. There is a sense of pride among pupils because they can see that the school has improved rapidly in recent years. This means there is more time for leaders and teachers to focus on the curriculum. Leaders are determined that all pupils access a high-quality, broad curriculum, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and those who speak English as an additional language. Leaders ensure that they have a very good understanding of pupils' starting points. They use this information to ensure that pupils get the specific help and support they need to progress. Pupils are proud to be part of a diverse community. All backgrounds are valued. Pupils respect each other because leaders ensure that all pupils see themselves represented in the curriculum and activities that are planned. This helps to ensure that bullying is not a problem. There are thriving extra-curricular music clubs which pupils enjoy. Leaders provide sports equipment so that pupils can participate in school and local competitions. Pupils feel cared for by their teachers.

What the school should improve

  • In some subjects, pupils are not given sufficient opportunity to demonstrate the cumulative knowledge they have gained. This means that some pupils do not remember how important knowledge connects together. Leaders should ensure that there is a consistent approach so that pupils can demonstrate age- appropriate, subject-specific knowledge that matches the aims of the curriculum.
  • Some pupils are not able to demonstrate high levels of self-regulation. This means that they cannot play as positive a role in the life of the school as they might. Leaders should ensure that they develop strategies and actions to enable pupils to manage their own behaviour and emotions.
