What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 January 2025
Pupils enjoy coming to this welcoming and inclusive school. They feel safe. Pupils are confident that they can share any worries or concerns. They trust that the school will listen and act promptly. Many parents and carers praise the school and all it does to support their children. They comment typically on how staff 'genuinely care about their school and pupils'. The school creates a calm and purposeful environment for pupils to learn in. Staff work as a team to ensure they meet the needs of individuals. The school has high expectations for how pupils should behave. These expectations start in the early years, where staff teach children the school's rules, 'be kind, be safe, be responsible'. Pupils behave well during lessons and during social times. The school has high expectations for its pupils. Pupils are keen to learn and achieve well. In most subjects, the school makes checks to find out what pupils know and can do. This supports them to build on previous learning. Pupils take delight in the rich opportunities on offer, such as curling, golf and learning to play a musical instrument. These activities develop pupils' interests and talents.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, assessment is not yet fully established. As a result, pupils' recall of prior learning is not always secure. Leaders need to ensure that staff use assessment effectively to check what pupils know and remember across all subjects.
- Staff respond to safeguarding concerns swiftly. However, sometimes, the information the school records about safeguarding incidents lacks sufficient detail. Therefore, the school could miss vital information. The school needs to make sure that records clearly and consistently demonstrate the action taken in response to any safeguarding concerns.
