What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 February 2025
Pupils are happy and enjoy attending the school. They are polite and friendly towards each other. They know staff care for them and want them to succeed. As a result, pupils feel safe. They know if they were to ever feel worried or frightened, an adult will be there to support them. Pupils' behaviour is good. Pupils know the school's values. They know being respectful, ambitious, proud and safe are very important. They enjoy earning house points, certificates and postcards home for behaving well and demonstrating the 'RAPS'. Parents appreciate the dedication and commitment shown by the staff. One comment typical of many is, 'The teachers are kind and caring, listen to parents, have tons of enthusiasm and will always give their time.' Pupils know the staff have high ambitions for them. They appreciate the extra support they get when they need it. They enjoy their learning challenges. As a result, outcomes are improving. Pupils take part in the many clubs the school offers. Pupils grow in confidence as a result of the leadership opportunities they are provided with. The pupils are thriving in this calm and purposeful environment that staff have created.
What the school should improve
- In some lessons, learning activities do not meet the needs of all pupils. As a result, sometimes pupils are expected to complete work that is too hard or they are not moved on to more challenging tasks when they are ready. The school needs to ensure all staff use assessment effectively so all pupils secure the knowledge they need.
- In a minority of subjects, the school has not defined the curriculum's essential knowledge well enough. As a result, pupils are not learning the knowledge and skills they require in every subject. The school needs to ensure all subject curriculums detail the knowledge and skills pupils need to learn and remember each year.
