What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 24 October 2023

Pupils are welcoming, happy and enthusiastic. The school has developed an inclusive community. Pupils understand the importance of diversity and difference. For instance, pupils talk proudly about their annual cultural diversity week when they celebrate the cultural heritage of pupils in the school. The school's mission is to 'open the hearts and minds' of all pupils. This is the cornerstone that underpins all aspects of school life. High expectations for behaviour and learning are well established from the start. Pupils strive to 'be safe, be kind, and be your best'. Pupils rise to meet these expectations. Positive relationships across the school build on the school's values. The curriculum includes many hands-on experiences for pupils through the school's 'Romero child's charter' enrichment programme. Staff are ambitious for all pupils. They deliver a creative and engaging curriculum to all pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Some pupils with SEND also benefit from nurture and expertise in the school's 'mini hub' provision. The school makes sure that all pupils benefit from the extensive enrichment offer. Pupils enjoy an exciting range of clubs. These include cooking, eco-warriors, photography and extensive sports clubs utilising the purpose-built sports area.

What the school should improve

  • Some foundation subject leaders are new to fulfilling the responsibilities and expectations of their role. As a result, these leaders are at the early stages of developing the necessary experience and skills to drive improvements in their subjects. The school should continue to draw on support from the trust to provide new subject leaders with the right training and opportunities to develop their confidence and expertise in monitoring and improving their subject.
  • Some pupils in key stage one with social, emotional and mental health needs do not receive the best support in lessons to help them regulate their emotions and behaviour. As a result, they are not accessing the curriculum as well as they should. The school should embed recently introduced strategies to ensure that consistent support is in place for pupils with social, emotional and mental health needs so that they achieve well.
