What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 24 September 2024

This is a welcoming and inclusive school at the heart of its community. The school's values of 'nurture, inspire and flourish' underpin all aspects of the school's work. Pupils are wonderful ambassadors for the school. They are happy and proud to attend. Pupils understand the school's high expectations of them. They are respectful and behave well. Pupils have positive attitudes to, and succeed in, their learning. The school provides a broad curriculum and stimulating experiences that enrich pupils' learning. For example, a museum visit deepens older pupils' understanding of life in World War II. Residential trips help pupils to learn valuable life skills such as team-building. Pupils have exciting opportunities to develop their talents and interests. For example, in art lessons, they can try silk printing and sculpture. All pupils can join clubs, such as dodgeball and hockey. Pupils can also learn to play an instrument. Pastoral support is strong. The school forges valuable and supportive partnerships with pupils and their families. This has a positive impact on pupils' well-being. Pupils feel safe at school. They trust adults to take good care of them. Many parents and carers praise the school. They typically comment on the family atmosphere.

What the school should improve

  • In a few subjects, the curriculum and assessment are still being developed. As a result, the school does not yet precisely identify how well pupils develop and retain the knowledge and skills it expects them to. This means that pupils have gaps in their learning. The school must sharpen assessment, and adapt the curriculum where necessary, to fill gaps in pupils' knowledge and help them to know and remember more.
