What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 12 July 2022

Pupils are well cared for in this friendly and welcoming school. Leaders and staff share a vision to inspire pupils with a love of learning. An ambitious curriculum, shared values and pastoral care are at the heart of the school's work. Pupils' behaviour in lessons and around the school is positive. Music is played outdoors at breaktimes. It can be heard across the playground. Pupils said that this helps them to feel happy and relaxed. Pupils said that bullying rarely happens because they learn to treat others as they would like to be treated. If it does happen, staff deal with it swiftly. Parents and carers are overwhelmingly positive about the school. They feel that the school knows every child well and provides for their individual needs. Parents appreciate the school's inclusive approach. Staff and governors have high expectations of how well all pupils can achieve. Pupils contributed to choosing the school's vison statement and associated bible verse: 'But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded.' Pupils like it because it helps them to aim high. Pupils love the wide range of visits and local trips they can go on.

What the school should improve

  • Leaders have put in place an ambitious curriculum in most subjects. They check that this is taught effectively. However, in some areas the curriculum is overloaded with content. This affects how well pupils learn and remember what they are taught. Leaders need to refine further the essential content in some foundation subjects so that pupils learn and remember even more.
  • The computing curriculum is underdeveloped. Pupils' understanding in this subject is inconsistent. Leaders should ensure that the curriculum programme for computing is strengthened so that pupils have more effective opportunities to build their knowledge and skills securely over time.
