What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 February 2025
Relationships between staff and pupils are excellent. Staff know every pupil in this large school. Pupils feel valued, safe and secure. They know they can talk to a trusted adult who will take the time and listen to any concerns. This is an inclusive school, where everyone is welcome. Pupils know the school has high expectations of them and rise to the challenge. They behave well and follow the school rules of be ready, be respectful, be safe. Pupils know there are consequences to poor behaviour. Pupils who need support to manage their feelings and emotions get the support they need. Pupils are proud to be pupil councillors. Year 6 enjoy supporting younger pupils at lunchtime. However, the opportunities for pupils to take on wider leadership roles are limited. Although, pupils enthusiastically talk about the small offer of clubs, they would appreciate more breadth and variety. The school has high ambitions for pupils. Pupils' achievements at the end of Year 6 are strong. They leave well prepared for their next stage of learning.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes, the adaptations made to teaching do not take pupils' specific needs fully into account. As a result, some pupils, including those with SEND, struggle to access learning. Their learning is not as secure as the school expects. The school should ensure that staff have the knowledge and expertise to adapt their approaches to meet the specific needs of pupils.
- In some foundation subjects, checks on pupils' learning do not identify gaps in pupils' knowledge sufficiently well. As a result, some pupils are not always ready for the next steps in their learning. The school should ensure that teachers have the knowledge to check routinely that the intended knowledge has been learned, and use this to inform future learning.
