What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 May 2024
Pupils are highly enthusiastic about their school. They love the kind, nurturing environment. Pupils appreciate the 'helping hand', which ensures they know exactly what to do if they need help in any way. Parents are also highly positive about this school, valuing the caring ethos and family feel. Many parents commented that they appreciate the strong sense of community and belonging at the school. They trust the school to manage any difficulties pupils may have with high levels of compassion and patience. The school seeks for all pupils to get the best start to their education and achieve well. In many subjects, pupils achieve highly. This is because they have strong, positive attitudes to learning. Pupils work hard in lessons, showing high levels of engagement and a thirst for knowledge. Pupils' behaviour is impeccable. They show exemplary levels of respect for both adults and for one another. Pupils listen well to each other when taking part in discussions. They really value one another's ideas and thoughts, actively building on what their peers have said during conversations. Pupils are highly respectful of difference and value diversity. They explain confidently the importance of appreciating everyone as unique individuals, each with something to offer to society.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, the curriculum is at an earlier stage of development or needs to be refined. This means that the tasks given to pupils do not always enable them to learn as well as they could. The school needs to continue to develop the curriculum, where necessary, to ensure that the whole curriculum reflects that of the strongest subjects and enables pupils to achieve highly.
