What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 February 2025
Pupils are happy at school and appreciate that staff are 'on their side' and 'want the best for them'. Should pupils have any worries, they know who to talk to. Pupils are confident that their concerns are taken seriously. Pupils are proud to meet the school's recently redeveloped high expectations of behaviour and achievement. The school has rapidly improved both behaviour processes and the quality of education. Pupils now find lessons more engaging; they consider that behaviour is much improved and that the school is calm. On the few occasions where extra help is still needed, pupils recognise how staff help them to improve their behaviour. Pupils have a strong appreciation of the importance of fairness and treat each other well. They are proud to have friends across year groups. Pupils know the school's values and use these to shape the positive way they behave in lessons and when playing with their classmates. Pupils enjoy learning in the school's outdoor area. They participate in a wide range of trips and activities, ranging from sports clubs and music to performances and theme days. These varied opportunities help pupils to develop their different talents and interests.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, the curriculum is not yet fully developed and does not precisely identify the knowledge that pupils need and when they need to know it. Consequently, pupils do not learn as much as they could. The school should continue to implement the curriculum in these subjects so that the essential knowledge and skills that pupils need build securely over time.
- The school has not ensured that all staff implement the behaviour policy securely and consistently. This means that in some instances pupils do not pay attention in lessons and, therefore, do not learn as well as they could. The school should continue its work to ensure that all staff have the skills and confidence to address interruptions to learning so that all pupils can learn as well as they should.
