What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 December 2022
Pupils enjoy school. School staff and pupils treat each other with respect and kindness. Pupils feel safe and are safe. Leaders have high expectations. They require pupils to behave well. Pupils live up to these ambitions, and as a result, behaviour is calm and orderly. Leaders and teachers encourage pupils to do their best. Pupils focus well in lessons and are enthusiastic about learning. Pupils know what bullying is and say it rarely happens. If bullying does occur, leaders deal with it swiftly and effectively. Pupils trust staff. They know they can talk to an adult in school if they have a problem. Pupils are taught about democracy. They vote for their peers to take on positions of responsibility. For example, pupils have opportunities to be members of the school council and sports ambassadors. Pupils are taught about different faiths and cultures. Pupils visit different places of worship and visiting speakers from a range of faiths share their knowledge with them. Pupils are encouraged to understand and respect different beliefs and customs. Leaders provide a range of clubs, including gardening, art, games and multi-skills. These activities support pupils to develop their talents and pursue their interests.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the activities given to pupils do not align closely with the knowledge and skills leaders want pupils to know and remember. This means that pupils do not routinely apply their knowledge to their current task. Leaders need to ensure that activities enable pupils to develop the knowledge and skills that they want pupils to know and remember.
- In some subjects, leaders have not identified important vocabulary across the curriculum. This means that pupils find it difficult to articulate their knowledge and understanding. Leaders need to make sure that key vocabulary is identified and builds over time across the curriculum so that pupils know, remember and use it effectively.
