What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 27 February 2024

Pupils thrive at this school. There is a strong sense of community. Visitors are warmly welcomed. Pupils are proud of their school. Relationships between staff and pupils are supportive and caring. The school is a safe place for pupils and staff. Pupils play well together. Pupils understand the importance of kindness and mutual respect. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. The school has high expectations and aspirations for all children, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The planned curriculum matches these ambitions. Pupils rise to the high standards set by the school. Parents and carers are very positive about the school. They recognise the caring ethos staff have for their children. One parent described the school as 'being a listening school'. Pupils' attitudes to learning are exceptional. Pupils benefit from an extensive range of very high-quality personal development opportunities. For example, singing has a high profile across the school. Pupils gain performance skills and grow in confidence. Pupils take on leadership roles. The school encourages pupils to become 'champions of change'. Pupils learn how to contribute to decisions about their school. Pupils relish the fact that the school takes their views into account.

What the school should improve

  • In a small number of subjects, the ambitious intent of the curriculum is not consistently implemented. This is limiting pupils' understanding of the key knowledge in these subjects and affecting pupils' ability to connect what they have learned to what they are going to learn. The school must ensure that the expectation and intent of all areas of the curriculum are implemented effectively and consistently so that pupils' understanding of key concepts and skills is equally strong across all subjects.
