What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 December 2024
When pupils arrive each day, they are welcomed warmly. They enjoy coming to this small, happy school. Pupils attend regularly because they are excited about what they are going to learn. They know that their teachers have high expectations of what they can achieve. Pupils work hard to reach these expectations. Many pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) achieve well. Pupils' written work is of a high quality. Pupils are proud of their school. They value the positive relationships they have with staff and each other. Pupils share a sense of ambition. They celebrate their friends' achievements as enthusiastically as their own. Pupils know that how they behave impacts on everyone's learning. As a result, pupils behave well in class. Around the school, they look out for each other. Older pupils ensure younger pupils have the same opportunities to join in with play at breaktimes and lunchtimes. Pupils take part in a range of different experiences beyond the curriculum. They enjoy weekly cookery and music sessions. Older pupils look forward to their residential experience. Pupils value the additional opportunities that are offered through the trust.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes, the plans for pupils with SEND lack precision. Targets are too broad or not always directly targeted at individual pupils' needs. This means that teachers cannot always adapt their teaching to help these pupils access the curriculum as intended. The school and the trust should ensure that the targets for pupils with SEND are precise and enable teachers to understand how best to support pupils to learn and achieve well.
- The school does not always identify how well the curriculum is being taught or the impact this has on pupils' learning. Gaps in teachers' subject knowledge are not identified and addressed. The assessment of pupils' learning over time does not accurately inform future curriculum adaptations. This means that pupils' learning is not as secure as it could be. The school and the trust should ensure that they accurately check the implementation of the curriculum and use this information to ensure that pupils learn the curriculum as intended.
