What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 12 July 2022
Pupils enjoy school. They are happy and feel safe. Staff have high expectations of what pupils can achieve. The vast majority of parents agree with this view. They appreciate the care and guidance their children receive. One parent stated, 'All staff members encourage everyone to grow and reach their potential. Every child is valued.' Pupils talk enthusiastically about the range of opportunities provided to them both inside and outside of the classroom. They enjoy the links they have with their local junior school and the church. Pupils are polite and behave well in lessons and around the school site. They understand the school values and how these link to how they should behave and treat others. Incidents of poor behaviour are rare. Pupils understand what bullying is but say it doesn't happen often. They are confident that adults would deal with it quickly if it happened. Pupils have formed strong relationships with staff and each other. They have a good understanding of respect for adults and their peers. They feel respected by the adults that work with them. Pupils say that 'it doesn't matter how old you are, you should always look after each other.'
What the school should improve
- In some subjects across the wider curriculum, the key knowledge that pupils need to know has not been clearly identified. As a result, pupils cannot articulate their learning well enough. Leaders need to ensure that the key knowledge pupils need to learn in each subject is clearly identified and sequenced well so that pupils know more and remember more.
- Assessment is not used well enough to check what pupils understand in some subjects in the wider curriculum. As a result, pupils have gaps in some subject-specific knowledge. Teachers need to check what pupils know and can do when implementing the curriculum so that they can assure themselves that pupils are securing all the essential knowledge they intend pupils to know.
