What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 December 2024
Pupils are happy and safe in school. They enjoy learning through a rich and interesting curriculum based on the school's vision of 'Be Adventurous'. Staff know pupils well and listen to them. Pupils say that all adults in school would help them if they needed support. Staff have high expectations, and pupils respond to these. Pupils behave well based on the school's values of 'be ambitious, be responsible and be resilient'. They play well together at playtimes. Older pupils support younger pupils through the school's pupil buddy system. Pupils enjoy a range of experiences through the curriculum. They visit places linked to their learning and play musical instruments. Pupils enjoy special events and visitors who come to the school, such as the space dome that is linked to learning in science. All pupils are offered the chance to walk the Three Peaks Challenge. They build up to this through a series of fitness challenges. Pupils are also active members of the local community, taking part in visits to care homes and working with people in the community who help the school with afternoon tea events. The school ensures that pupils are prepared for life in modern Britain. Pupils learn about respect, equality and diversity to support their understanding of difference. Pupils talk knowledgeably about other beliefs, cultures and religions.
What the school should improve
- Some pupils do not attend school regularly enough. This impacts their learning. The school and parents and carers should work together to ensure that all stakeholders are striving to improve attendance.
- There are gaps in pupils' fluency and accuracy. As a result, pupils are not as proficient in their writing as they could be. The school needs a consistent approach to ensure pupils develop their writing fluency and accuracy.
