What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 20 February 2024
Leaders aspire for all pupils to experience success here, regardless of their background. The school fosters strong relationships with parents and families, and pupils feel valued and understood by staff. Staff create a positive and safe environment for learning, and pupils achieve well. Pupils have confidence that they can talk to staff about any worries. Children in early years learn to share and interact positively. This helps them to make a strong start to their schooling. In class and around school, pupils follow clear routines and behave kindly towards one another. Staff provide pupils with techniques to develop a 'happy mind'. This helps pupils to manage their emotions and become more resilient. Pupils are proud to take on responsibilities within school. They enjoy acting as buddies for younger pupils and being leaders for sports or worship. The school provides a range of activities to foster pupils' talents and interests. The school makes sure that pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) take advantage of these opportunities fully. Pupils enjoy learning about different backgrounds and faiths, from both within and beyond the school community. This helps pupils to develop a clear commitment to equality and diversity.
What the school should improve
- At times, teachers do not check pupils' understanding as systematically as they could. As a result, some pupils' misconceptions are not addressed and rectified swiftly. Leaders should ensure that teachers are rigorous in identifying and responding to misunderstandings and gaps in pupils' knowledge.
- In some subjects, pupils' disciplinary knowledge and subject vocabulary are not developed as fully as they could be. As a result, some pupils find it difficult to apply their knowledge or to integrate new learning into larger ideas about the subject. Leaders should make sure that teachers emphasise concepts and vocabulary as well as factual knowledge and methods, to help deepen pupils' understanding.
