What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 24 May 2022
Pupils enjoy coming to this school. They feel at home in its respectful and kind culture. All pupils follow the same broad curriculum. This includes those with special needs. Pupils respond well to leaders' high expectations. Pupils are ambitious about their own futures and enthusiastic about their learning. They achieve highly, often against the odds. Pupils appreciate the dedication and commitment of their teachers. Pupils are safe at school and are helped to stay protected beyond the school gates. They are proud to stand up for the school's values of justice, equality and human rights. They behave respectfully towards all members of the school community. As a result, bullying is extremely rare. Pupils trust adults to sort out problems and concerns. Teachers listen to pupils, who are given a voice in the school. Teachers use systems that pupils understand, to stop poor behaviour interfering with learning. Pupils enjoy opportunities to widen their horizons, such as sea cadets, the Duke of Edinburgh scheme, drama, and young farmers' club. They are enthusiastic about the work of the anti-bullying committee. This runs workshops and assemblies, and trains primary school children. Pupils appreciate the school's focus on reading and writing.
What the school should improve
- Teachers' approach to assessment is not always consistent. Errors of spelling, punctuation and grammar are not always corrected. This can allow misconceptions to persist. Leaders should ensure their policies on feedback are consistently implemented.
- Sometimes, teachers miss opportunities to develop pupils' spoken language. As a result, some pupils are not developing the skills that underpin reading and writing. Teachers should ensure that all pupils are competent in the arts of speaking and listening, making formal presentations, demonstrating to others, and participating in debate.
