What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 18 July 2023
Pupils benefit from attending this harmonious and ambitious school. Their 'superhero values' displayed in every classroom, help them meet the high expectations that adults have for them. Whether they aim for the values of 'Captain' challenge, confidence, collaboration, curiosity, cooperation or creativity, pupils consistently strive to achieve well. Behaviour across the school is positive. Playtimes are joyful environments, where pupils show kindness and care to each other and adults. They value and take care of the equipment that leaders have provided for them and share it well with each other. Pupils are considerate and polite in their conduct around the school. They know how to behave because adults show them what this should look like. Pupils have secure knowledge of what bullying means and how to report any concerns. They are proud to say that bullying does not happen in their school. On the rare occasion that it does, leaders respond effectively to help pupils understand the impact of their actions on others. Pupils have warm relationships with adults in the school. They trust that staff will help them to become the best they can be. As a result, they are confident to try and show resilience when they learn.
What the school should improve
- Provision for pupils with SEND is being refined by leaders. Currently, the support that some pupils receive is not as precise as it could be. Leaders should continue their work to enhance and embed practice across the entire school and ensure staff have secure knowledge of how to meet a wide range of needs in lessons.
- In a small number of subjects, leaders have not embedded all their changes to the curriculum. This means that pupils are not learning consistently well across the entire curriculum. Leaders should ensure that staff have the knowledge they need in all curriculum areas to ensure that pupils build coherent knowledge effectively over time.
