What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 1 October 2024
Pupils strive to adopt the school's values of kindness, respect, togetherness and excellence. These are exemplified by pupils and staff each day. Working relationships across the school are positive. Pupils behave well in class and in the playgrounds. Pupils' positive attitudes to learning mean that time spent on learning is maximised. When there are any disputes, pupils have confidence that staff investigate these quickly and help them to resolve their differences. Pupils trust staff to help them with any concerns they may have. This ensures that pupils are kept safe at school. The school successfully ensures that pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), can access and learn the ambitious curriculum. Expectations are high for the knowledge and skills that pupils will learn. Pupils speak with enthusiasm and demonstrate high levels of motivation towards their learning. This is because the school provides pupils with a rich set of opportunities to develop their talents. Pupils are keen to take on additional responsibilities, for example, as members of the school council, house captains, playground rangers and reading champions. This gives them an active role in the school community and develops their leadership skills. Pupils take part in after-school clubs including football, choir and photography.
What the school should improve
- The changes that the school has made to develop the curriculum in some subjects are new. As a result, the impact of these actions are not evident. The school needs to continue to review, evaluate and check on the impact of its actions and decisions and ensure that staff have the necessary knowledge and expertise to carry these out with success.
