What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 1 April 2025
Community is important at this school. Pupils are proud to come here and have a strong sense of belonging. Parents appreciate the school's warm, nurturing atmosphere. Staff get to know pupils well. Pupils value learning. Pupils show high levels of respect for others. The school sets high expectations of pupils' behaviour. Pupils meet these expectations. They understand the importance of attending school every day to help them to achieve well. The school has developed an exciting curriculum that brings learning to life. For example, during the inspection, pupils were preparing for a visit from a 'knight', dressed in full armour. The school is ambitious for all pupils to achieve high standards. Pupils do their best to meet these high expectations. Overall, pupils achieve well. Pupils enjoy participating in sports competitions, with some success. For example, they recently became local dodgeball champions. Pupils benefit from a range of activities to promote fitness and well-being. These include 'Skipping Schools', training with Leeds Rhinos rugby coaches and participating in 'Young Minds Day'. Pupils contribute strongly to the local community. For example, they understand the importance of donating food to the local food bank, singing in the community café and participating in sustainability projects.
What the school should improve
- In some foundation subjects where the curriculum is very new, the school does not know the precise gaps in pupils' knowledge. Some pupils have historic gaps in their knowledge. This means they are not ready for new learning and their progress through the curriculum is slowed. The school should ensure that teachers use assessment effectively to identify gaps and that teaching approaches skilfully close those gaps. This will enable pupils to develop detailed knowledge across all subjects.
