What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 31 October 2023
Pupils are proud of their school. They are friendly and welcoming. Pupils enjoy school and they attend well. They are happy and safe. Staff know pupils and families well. Staff communicate regularly with parents. Consequently, pupils and parents feel well supported. The school values of 'truth, respect and kindness' are evident in pupils' conduct and how they treat one another. The values guide pupils to make positive choices about their own behaviour. The school is ambitious for pupils. It has recently improved the curriculum so that pupils know and remember more. Pupils learn about responsibility. They are keen to take on roles such as school councillors, house captains and sports leaders.
What the school should improve
- Some learning activities do not match the intention of the curriculum. They are not well aligned to the knowledge that pupils are learning. This means that activities do not always help pupils to deepen their knowledge effectively. The school needs to ensure that all learning activities enable pupils to build their understanding of all aspects of the subjects they learn.
- The written work that pupils produce is not always of high quality. It does not show all that they know and can do. The school needs to ensure that pupils are supported well to improve the quality of writing so that it better reflects the ambitious curriculum that they learn.
