What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 November 2024
Pupils are happy here. They are looked after well by caring staff. The school keeps them safe. Pupils feel secure when they are at school. Pupils get along nicely with one another and rarely fall out. Pupils conduct themselves exceptionally well throughout the school day. Pupils enjoy growing their own fruit and vegetables in the outdoor planting area. They benefit from extra-curricular trips, such as to a zoo. They take pride in carrying out various roles around the school. These responsibilities include eco-councillors and reading buddies. Pupils raise funds for several charitable causes. They engage positively with the local area through initiatives, such as singing at care homes. The school is ambitious for what pupils should learn. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) whose additional needs are catered for well. Pupils achieve well across many parts of the school's curriculum.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the school has not ensured that staff routinely revisit pupils' previous learning. This means that some of this learning does not stick in pupils' long-term memory and some do not develop a secure knowledge of certain broader concepts. The school should improve how it supports staff to ensure that pupils retain knowledge and develop a deeper understanding of some subject- specific concepts.
- The school's checks on pupils' learning do not identify pupils' knowledge gaps consistently well. At times, this means that some gaps in pupils' learning are not addressed as swiftly as they could be. The school should develop its assessment strategies further so that it can quickly identify and subsequently help pupils with gaps and misconceptions in their learning.
- Some of the school's quality assurance systems are not as robust as they could be. This means that the school does not evaluate the implementation and impact of the curriculum as well as it could. It also means that the school is not always fully assured that the standards are consistently met. The school should strengthen its quality assurance procedures to ensure that the curriculum is delivered consistently well.
