What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 November 2022
Pupils are happy coming to school. They get on well with each other and have strong relationships with the staff. This helps them to feel safe. Staff are aspirational for all pupils, both academically and personally. Pupils rise to these expectations by working hard. They act on guidance about how to be responsible and play a full part in the life of the school. Leaders have set high expectations for pupils' behaviour. Consequently, no learning time is lost due to poor behaviour. Pupils know whom to go to if things go wrong and say that they get help to put things right, including bullying. If an incident does happen, leaders and the wider staff team deal with it effectively. Parents and carers value the school's efforts to develop pupils as individuals as well as responsible and active members of the school and local community. Pupils have many opportunities to take part in a variety of sporting activities. They are well supported by staff to be mindful of their emotional as well as their physical well-being. The curriculum for personal, social and health education develops pupils' understanding of themselves and healthy relationships.
What the school should improve
- Teachers sometimes set work that is not ambitious enough. This means that pupils do not always learn as well as they could. Leaders need to make sure that teachers have stronger subject knowledge to deliver the planned curriculum to a consistently high standard.
