What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 December 2024
Pupils thrive due to the high expectations that are set for them. This is evident in the positive way pupils treat each other and in their high levels of effort when learning. They have positive relationships with the adults in the school. They trust that these adults want the best for them. Staff know pupils well and provide accurate support. Therefore, pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) have the help they need to achieve well. All pupils take pride in their work and constantly strive to achieve their best. Pupils embody the school values of 'love, commitment and respect'. This is clear to see in the positive and respectful conduct they show throughout the school. Social times are joyful points in the school day. During these times, pupils enjoy the activities they are provided with. They play together happily and show kindness to each other and to the adults who help them. Pupils are inclusive in their behaviour towards others. They understand and respect diversity, including different types of families. They are clear that everyone should be treated the same. Pupils are happy here. They know that adults will take care of them and keep them safe.
What the school should improve
- The school needs to improve the approach to providing wider opportunities. Currently, some pupils do not have as many opportunities to develop the social and personal skills they need to be ready for their next stage. The school should ensure that there is a well-considered approach to this so pupils are able to build these vital skills over time and be as ready as possible for life beyond school.
- The school has not yet refined the assessment process for some foundation subjects. This means that, currently, pupils are not progressing as well as they could through the entire curriculum. The school should ensure that teachers know how to precisely identify pupils' knowledge gaps in foundation subjects so they can provide accurate support to close them.
