What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 6 December 2022
This is a school where pupils, and children in the early years, feel safe and cared for well. Staff greet pupils at the school gates in the morning and check that they are ready to learn. Pupils are eager to get into their classrooms to start their lessons. Pupils, and their parents and carers, spoke highly about the pastoral support that they receive. Leaders have high expectations of what pupils can and should learn. Parents value the help and guidance that staff give to their children. This helps pupils to learn well and achieve highly. Children in the early years also grow and develop in confidence. Leaders have equally high expectations of pupils' behaviour. Pupils work hard in lessons and take pride in their work. They are supportive and encouraging towards each other. Pupils understand the school's behaviour system and they said that it is fair. They like the rewards that leaders provide in recognition of their positive behaviour. Pupils also said that if bullying happens, adults make it stop. Pupils enjoy the topics that they learn in the wider curriculum. They have many opportunities to explore different cultures and religions. Pupils enjoy the exciting trips, visitors and events that enrich their curriculum experience. Leaders give pupils plentiful opportunities to develop their interests and talents. This includes taking part in a variety of sports and learning musical instruments.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, teachers do not use leaders' assessment systems well enough to check on pupils' learning. This hinders how well some pupils learn. Leaders should ensure that teachers are supported well to use assessment systems to address any gaps in pupils' learning.
