What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 27 February 2024
Pupils love coming to this welcoming and inclusive school. Their experience is reflected in the meaning of the school's name, which is, 'where the sun shines through'. One parent summed up the views of many parents and carers in saying, 'My child's education has been an incredibly positive journey filled with warmth, support and ambition.' Pupils talk with confidence and enthusiasm about their school's values. These values help them to make good choices in all that they do. They know that there is always someone to talk to and that staff will resolve any worries quickly. They rightly say that this strong culture of care helps them to feel very safe. Pupils take learning seriously. They are ambitious and work hard in their lessons. Pupils talk confidently about how they will use their developing knowledge and skills in the future. Pupils know that staff will support them to be successful. They recognise, and meet, the high expectations that staff have for both their academic and pastoral development. Pupils enjoy learning about different cultures. They have a deep understanding of fairness and equality. Pupils value differences in other people and the opportunity to learn from them. They are polite and respectful towards each other.
What the school should improve
- The curriculum is not designed or sequenced as well as it could be in some subjects. This means that teachers are not always fully clear about what to teach and when, which has an impact on pupils' learning. The school should ensure that the curriculum is designed and implemented in a way that helps pupils achieve well in all subjects.
- The needs of a few pupils with SEND are not consistently met as well as they could be. As a result, a few pupils do not develop their knowledge as well as they could across all subjects. The school should ensure that learning is adapted effectively for all pupils so that they achieve consistently well.
