What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 April 2024
Pupils enjoy coming to this friendly, inclusive school. Staff nurture caring relationships with and between pupils right from the start of Nursery. Pupils are confident that if they have a worry, they can tell an adult who will help them. This helps pupils to feel safe at school. Pupils behave well and are motivated to learn. Pupils achieve well across a range of subjects because staff have high expectations of them. Pupils are very proud of their leadership roles. For example, pupil ambassadors support younger pupils in the dining hall. The well-being ambassadors lead 'well-being club', which their classmates value. These ambassadors explained that their roles are important because they are 'role models' for their peers. Such opportunities are also part of the school's aim to develop pupils' character and prepare them to be respectful 'citizens of the future'. Leaders encourage pupils to regularly share their views. The school provides opportunities for pupils to discuss topical issues, such as whether mobile phones should be banned in schools. These experiences help pupils to develop their own ideas and put forward their opinions respectfully. Pupils speak positively about the wide range of clubs on offer, such as gymnastics, choir, karaoke and judo club. These opportunities are planned to help pupils to develop their talents and pursue their interests.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes, the understanding of some pupils with SEND is not checked precisely enough. This reduces how well supported they are to make progress through the planned curriculum. The school should ensure that pupils' understanding is checked swiftly, and that any misconceptions addressed.
- In a few foundation subjects that are developing, teaching sometimes does not make explicit enough the important knowledge and skills that pupils need to learn. This means that some pupils can struggle to recall key knowledge and skills. The school needs to make sure that the important knowledge and skills that pupils are expected to know and remember are consistently delivered with clarity.
