What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 January 2023
Pupils enjoy coming to school, and they look forward to their day ahead. They comment that they feel safe at school. Pupils, parents and carers appreciate the many improvements that leaders have made. Leaders have high expectations for all pupils and children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Most pupils, including children in the early years, strive to live up to these expectations. Pupils are determined to try their best, and they achieve well in many areas of the curriculum. Pupils and children behave well during lessons and at social times. They are polite and respectful to each other and adults. When some pupils struggle to regulate their behaviour, staff use suitable strategies to support them well. Pupils say that when bullying happens, teachers will sort it out quickly. Pupils and children learn well in a calm and happy atmosphere. Pupils and children enjoy a broad range of activities beyond the school day. They value the many trips organised by leaders. For example, they are particularly looking forward to an upcoming trip to France. Pupils are fond of the opportunity to learn about musical theatre. They explain that they felt a sense of pride when the school choir performed for residents in local care homes.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, some teachers are not sufficiently clear about some of the knowledge that they should deliver and when this content should be taught. This hinders teachers in designing learning and prevents pupils from gaining the depth of knowledge that they should. Leaders should finalise their curriculum thinking in these remaining few subjects so that teachers are informed well about how to design learning for pupils.
