What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 December 2024
Pupils are happy and safe at this caring school. They learn to follow the school's rules: 'be respectful, be responsible, be kind.' Pupils can name a trusted adult they would talk to if they had any concerns. Pupils trust staff to help them with any issues they may have. Pupils are generally focused on their learning in lessons, and they behave respectfully to staff and each other. Pupils move around the school in a calm and organised way. If something does go wrong, staff support pupils to examine what happened and how they can improve their reactions in the future. The school has high expectations for what pupils should achieve. The curriculum is broad and ambitious. Leaders have made sure that the curriculum is representative of the whole school community and that diversity is celebrated and valued. Most pupils achieve well. The school enriches pupils' learning in a multitude of different ways. Pupils enjoy visits to museums and galleries, and they participate in local sports events. The school hosts a cultural day, when pupils celebrate the culture of their families with food and visits from parents and carers.
What the school should improve
- At times, the activities that teachers select are not well suited to helping pupils to understand the intended subject content. This hinders how well pupils understand and remember important knowledge. The school should support teachers to develop their expertise in selecting appropriate activities and resources that match the aims of the curriculum.
