What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 January 2023
This is a school that is not only ambitious for its pupils but also its community. Everything that happens within the school focuses on preparing citizens who represent their five 'Rs' - respect, relationships, reflection, resilience and resourceful. One pupil stated: 'They are like a food chain but it's a giant learning chain.' Expectations are high for all within the school. The phrase written boldly on a wall, 'The standard you walk past is the standard you accept', reminds everyone of the need to have high aspirations. Staff understand this and the importance of being good role models. Pupils feel safe and are happy at this school. They show high levels of maturity for their age because adults promote the importance of thinking carefully about one's actions. Pupils are highly respectful of one another and behave exceptionally well. They develop character through discussion and debate. Pupils understand the importance of diversity within their community and the wider world. This is no more embodied than in the school motto, 'where everyone belongs'. Parents appreciate the efforts the school goes to support and develop their child. They recognise that this goes beyond the academic. One parent stated: 'The school goes the extra mile to provide those additional experiences that work for everyone.'
What the school should improve
- While much has been done to address attendance, too many pupils do not attend regularly enough. This means too many pupils are not experiencing the quality of provision often enough. Leaders should ensure the systems recently adapted and in place are applied rigorously and the number of pupils attending school regularly increases rapidly.
- Recent adaptations to the curriculum are having considerable impact. However, because changes to the curriculum are recent, there are gaps in some pupils' knowledge in some areas of the curriculum. Leaders should ensure they regularly check the impact of the intended curriculum so it has the impact leaders aspire to.
