What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 June 2023
Pupils thrive at this community-focused, friendly school. They embody the school values of independence, teamwork, creativity, respect and well-being. These values are promoted effectively and consistently by staff. This helps to ensure that pupils learn to work and play together well, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) or those who are disadvantaged. As a result, this is a safe and welcoming place to come and learn for all pupils. Pupils speak very positively about their learning. Most parents agree. Parents and pupils appreciate the wide range of extra-curricular experiences on offer. Staff promote equality of opportunity very well. Pupils take on varying responsibilities. Pupils learn about cultures and beliefs from around the world in lessons and from the array of trips and visits. As a result, pupils understand, appreciate and respect difference. Pupils respond very well to the high expectations of staff. They behave well. Bullying is rare. When it happens, staff listen and act swiftly to address any unkindness. Pupils show particularly strong attitudes to their learning. Occasionally, some pupils need reminding of what is expected. However, this does not lessen the orderly and hard-working atmosphere.
What the school should improve
- Elements of the curriculum implementation need more time to embed. For example, the use of assessment and pupils' learning in elements of foundation subjects are underdeveloped. Leaders should build on and strengthen the delivery of the curriculum so that pupils' outcomes continue to improve in all areas.
- Leaders have recently introduced several new processes, including systems for recording behaviour and attendance. Although attendance is improving rapidly, more could be done to tackle persistent absence by utilising the new methods of tracking this group of pupils. Leaders should embed the use of these systems, to utilise their full potential and help improve the school even more.
