What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 20 June 2023

This is a vibrant and diverse school. All pupils, including children in the early years, are happy and enjoy their learning. They talk about trips they have been on and about the range of subjects they enjoy learning. Leaders and teachers warmly welcome parents into the school. The school is an important part of the local community. Leaders work hard to support the community and to keep pupils safe. They make sure the many pupils who arrive new to the school across the year get off to a good start. They work hard to ensure that pupils attend school every day. Leaders have high expectations of pupils' behaviour and attitudes to learning. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), concentrate well on their learning in lessons. Leaders ensure that, if bullying happens, they sort it out quickly. Pupils know they can speak to an adult about their worries. Pupils take part in a wide range of opportunities. Leaders organise 'pupil action groups'. These pupil groups work on different projects. For example, they carry out community fundraising. Pupils are proud of the responsibilities teachers give them to be 'leaders.'

What the school should improve

  • Attendance is improving, but too many pupils are persistently absent from school. This means they miss out on learning. Leaders use a range of strategies to support parents in getting their children to attend school regularly. Leaders should review these strategies to ensure they are having the intended impact of helping pupils to attend school more regularly.
  • In some lessons, teachers do not always deliver the curriculum well. This means that pupils do not always remember what they have learned. Leaders have clear programmes in place to help teachers to improve how they deliver the curriculum. Leaders should ensure that they continue with this work so that all teachers deliver the curriculum consistently well.
