What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 November 2023
Pupils are happy and enjoy coming to school. They are motivated by the school motto of 'believe, achieve and succeed'. Pupils are kind, polite and encouraging of each other. They are proud of their school and include everyone. They accept that everyone is different. All opportunities arranged by the school are available to all pupils. However, currently, pupils have access to a limited number of after-school clubs. Most pupils behave well and concentrate in lessons. They work hard and thrive on sharing their learning. Pupils want to do as well as they can. Many live up to the school's high expectations of them. Overall, pupils leave well prepared for learning in middle school. Pupils enjoy the space and the wide range of activities available at playtimes. Older pupils have several leadership opportunities available to them, including house captains, sports ambassadors, and prefects. Pupils know and understand the democratic process used to allocate roles. They are proud to have a role and ensure that they fulfil it. This helps to develop their confidence and sense of responsibility before they move on to middle school.
What the school should improve
- The school has not ensured that the DSL training has been kept up to date through appropriate refresher training. The school should ensure that arrangements are put into place to ensure that the DSL training does not lapse again.
- In a few foundation subjects, the school's curriculum plans do not identify the knowledge and vocabulary that pupils should learn as clearly as in other subjects. This means that teachers do not emphasise this important knowledge when teaching and planning activities, so pupils do not remember it easily. The school should ensure that curriculum plans precisely identify the important knowledge and vocabulary that pupils should learn in each subject.
- The number of extra-curricular clubs available is limited. Pupils cannot develop all their talents and interests. The school should ensure that a wider range of extra- curricular opportunities that reflect pupils' interests is available.
