What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 2 November 2022
Pupils are happy and enjoy attending this school. Parents, carers, pupils and staff say that the school is warm and welcoming. Staff ensure that the needs of pupils always come first. The pupils reflect the school's values of 'pride, perseverance, kindness and respect'. The caring culture of the school helps pupils to feel safe. Leaders have high expectations of all pupils. Pupils show positive behaviours and attitudes towards staff and each other. Pupils are polite and well mannered. They behave well in lessons and around school. They are ready to learn, and enjoy their lessons. There are very few incidents of poor behaviour. Pupils know there are consequences to their actions if they do not follow the school rules. Bullying rarely happens. Pupils know that bullying is wrong. They say that when bullying does happen, they trust adults to deal with it quickly. All pupils understand the school rewards systems well. They enjoy earning table points and house points for modelling any of the school's values. Pupils' ultimate goal is to earn enough points to gain a place on the 'recognition board'. Older pupils have responsibilities. These include taking photographs of events and collecting class house points.
What the school should improve
- Teachers do not always check if pupils have the knowledge they need to build on their learning. As a result, pupils do not always remember what they have learned in some subjects. Leaders should ensure that pupils are secure in their knowledge before moving learning on. Pupils will then be better prepared for their next stage in learning.
- The organisation and record-keeping for the provision for pupils with SEND are not robust enough. Key documents do not identify pupils' needs well enough. Leaders should ensure that the organisation and record-keeping for pupils with SEND are consistent and robust. Leaders should ensure that pupils' targets closely reflect pupils' needs and are regularly reviewed.
