What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 1 April 2025
This is a highly inclusive school where everyone is valued and diversity is celebrated. Staff and pupils alike model respect for others and value the supportive ethos of the school. Pupils delight in being 'friendship monitors' and helping others at playtimes. Staff create a calm and nurturing atmosphere in lessons, where pupils can focus and learn without disruption. The trust and the school have an embedded shared vision for all pupils to 'believe, achieve, succeed'. Pupils enjoy their learning and develop a broad body of knowledge across a range of subjects. They achieve well from their starting points. Pupils value the opportunities to broaden their experiences. For example, they go on regular trips linked to their learning. This includes visits to museums, a range of different places of worship and a residential visit. Pupils represent the school in sports events and when performing in front of audiences. They are proud of the contribution they make to the school community and to the wider world. For example, pupils take on roles such as pupil councillors, sports leaders, eco warriors and health ambassadors. They raise money for charities, plant trees and take part in recycling initiatives. This helps pupils to be prepared for life beyond school.
What the school should improve
- At times, the school's assessment systems are not used as effectively as they could to accurately check how securely pupils are learning. This hinders the school from ensuring that any gaps in their knowledge are swiftly addressed through adaptations to the curriculum delivery. The school should strengthen its assessment systems to ensure that staff are enabled to accurately check how well pupils are learning and to use this information to inform their teaching.
