What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 January 2023
Pupils are happy at this friendly school and enjoy working together. Pupils feel safe and say that adults in school will help them with any worries they have. Relationships between adults and pupils are positive. Pupils understand what bullying means. They are confident that, if it happens, adults will sort things out appropriately. Leaders set high expectations so that many pupils do well. They make sure that pupils experience an interesting curriculum. Pupils enjoy lessons and have positive attitudes to learning. Pupils particularly enjoy reading and are keen to spend time in the school library. Pupils behave well in lessons and around the school. They are polite and welcome visitors warmly. Pupils are kind and take care of each other and understand the importance of including everyone. Older pupils act as good role models for younger pupils and to those who need support to follow the school rules. Leaders plan a range of extra-curricular activities to broaden pupils' experiences. These include trips, visitors to school and clubs such as multi-sports, choir and football. Parents and carers say that staff are friendly and approachable. Some parents were keen to tell inspectors how much the school has improved since the last inspection.
What the school should improve
- In some classes, teachers do not have high enough expectations of what pupils can achieve in their writing in subjects across the curriculum. Some pupils make repeated mistakes with basic punctuation and spelling. This slows the progress that pupils make. Leaders should continue with their work to implement their new approach to teaching writing so that it is taught consistently well across the school.
- In some foundation subjects, assessment is not used precisely enough to identify what pupils have learned and remembered. This means that teachers do not have an accurate understanding of what pupils know and where gaps in learning may exist. Leaders should ensure that teachers use assessment consistently well across all subjects.
