What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 14 September 2022

Pupils are happy, safe and well cared for. They appreciate that teachers are there to help them, and know who to speak to if they have concerns. 'Worry boxes' in every classroom provide all pupils with opportunities to share any issues they may have. Pupils behave well. Clear routines and expectations are in place to support this. Behaviour in lessons and around the school is courteous and respectful. Any incidents of bullying that occur are dealt with quickly and effectively. Leaders expect all pupils to achieve highly. The curriculum helps pupils to build up their knowledge and make links between subject content. Over time, pupils develop a strong understanding in many subjects. However, recent improvements to the curriculum are not fully embedded in all subjects. Pupils take part in many opportunities which aim to enhance their learning in different areas of the curriculum. For example, they have recently gone on educational visits to Westminster Abbey and the British Museum. Pupils appreciate their roles in decision- making in the school. For example, school councillors meet regularly to discuss the improvements they would like to make. Leaders listen to pupils' ideas. For example, following a suggestion from pupils, leaders recently added new artificial grass in the school playground.

What the school should improve

  • In a few subjects, checks on learning do not help teachers to make sure that pupils have remembered important knowledge and are ready to learn more demanding subject content. Sometimes, pupils' recall of essential ideas is not secure, and this prevents them from progressing securely through the curriculum. Leaders should ensure that teachers check what pupils have learned. This will help pupils to build up their knowledge securely and progressively.
