What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 7 February 2023

Pupils are rightly proud to be a member of this inclusive, welcoming school. Warm, caring relationships exist between pupils and staff, based on mutual respect. Diversity and difference are promoted and celebrated. Pupils are curious about different cultures and religions. They are respectful of people's differences, ensuring that there is 'strength in diversity'. Pupils are kind to one another. They get along well. Peer mediators support pupils with their play and friendships during breaktimes. Pupils appreciate this guidance. The support for pupils' emotional well-being is of a high quality. If pupils are worried or if they have fallen out with their friends, they can give a purple card to a trusted adult as a sign that they need to talk. Pupils know that they will be listened to. They are given the help they need. Pupils know that how they feel truly matters to staff. Pupils particularly value the time they can spend on the school's nurture bus. Pupils are inspired by the school's aspirational and interesting curriculum. They have a keen appetite for learning. They respond to the high expectations of staff by working conscientiously and taking pride in their work. Their behaviour in lessons and around the school is exemplary.

What the school should improve

  • Leaders have not yet fully embedded their ambitious curriculum. While pupils achieve highly in some subjects, they do not yet achieve highly across the full curriculum. Leaders need to finalise their work on the curriculum so that all subjects are of the same high standard.
  • Leaders have recently established a new strategy to involve parents when considering and planning support for pupils with SEND. However, this has not yet been fully rolled out. This means that, previously, parents have not always been clear about, and have not always been able to contribute to, the individual plans for their children. Leaders need to fully implement and embed their new strategy.
