What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 July 2024
Pupils flourish in the nurturing and supportive environment that permeates the school. They bask in the care that they receive from staff in the close-knit school community. Pupils' happiness is displayed in their positivity and enthusiasm towards their life at school. Pupils speak kindly to others. They are welcoming and friendly towards visitors and pupils who are new to the school. Pupils are polite and cheerful. They go out of their way to help others, for example by helping to keep the school grounds tidy. The school has high aspirations for pupils both socially and academically. It ensures that pupils achieve well. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils are extremely proud of their school. They spoke enthusiastically about how the school helps them to learn beyond the academic curriculum. For example, pupils study important global issues, such as plastic pollution. They learn about their locality and, contrastingly, about people whose lives are different to their own. Pupils prosper from the wide range of opportunities on offer to develop their talents and interests, such as fencing, dancing and French clubs. Pupils enjoy representing their school at various sporting tournaments. Equally, they value opportunities to enhance their teamwork skills and resilience during the residential visits that the school offers.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes, staff's expectations of pupils' written work are too low, notably in the application of known spellings and in their handwriting. This hinders pupils from applying their foundational knowledge in writing to the full breadth of curriculum subjects. The school should ensure that staff raise, and consistently apply, their expectations of the standard and accuracy of the written work that pupils produce.
