What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 26 November 2024
Pupils enjoy coming to this inclusive and welcoming school. Relationships between staff and pupils are warm and nurturing. The school ensures pupils can share any worries and concerns they might have. This keeps them safe. Pupils know they will be taken seriously and be well looked after. The school has high expectations for what they want pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), to achieve. Pupils try hard in lessons. They typically produce work of good quality and current pupils mostly achieve well in English and mathematics. However, the curriculum in some other subjects is not as well established. This means pupils, including those with SEND, do not secure as deep a knowledge and understanding. Pupils understand the school rules. They behave sensibly in classrooms and around the school. Many pupils commented very positively on the changes the school had made to lunchtime organisation. During breaktimes, they play happily and show kindness to each other. The school has thought carefully about how to provide pupils with a range of experiences that develop them personally. Pupils are particularly proud of applying for roles, such as school council and subject ambassadors.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, explanations and development of pupils' vocabulary are not sufficiently clear or precise. As a result, some pupils, including those with SEND, do not secure as deep a body of knowledge in these areas. The school should continue to provide ongoing support for teachers' subject knowledge and monitor its effectiveness so that the curriculum is implemented in line with leaders' ambitions.
- On occasion, pupils' misconceptions are not swiftly identified or addressed. As a result, pupils sometimes move on to new learning before they have a secure understanding of the important knowledge they need. The school should ensure that the agreed systems for assessment are consistently implemented.
