What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 12 September 2023
Pupils are happy and safe at this inclusive school. Pastoral care is strong and ensures that pupils' physical and mental well-being is a priority. There is a focus on developing the skills that pupils need to keep themselves safe, including when online. The school's values of 'respect, courage and cooperation' are at the heart of this community. Those at the school want the very best for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils benefit from the improved school curriculum. They want to learn and rise to the challenges the school provides. On the whole, pupils now achieve well. Pupils behave appropriately in and out of lessons. Right from the start they learn how to listen to others, follow instructions and embrace school routines. Pupils trust staff to help with any worries or disagreements. Pupils play enthusiastically at social times when there is always plenty to interest them. They understand the importance of treating everyone fairly. Enrichment beyond the academic curriculum is an important part of the school's vision. Pupils enjoy the range of trips, visitors, special events and clubs offered. They look forward to celebrating their achievements in assemblies.
What the school should improve
- The most important vocabulary that pupils need to learn has not been fully thought through and agreed. This means that some pupils, particularly the most disadvantaged, do not achieve as well as they could. The school should continue to implement the improvements that are planned and ensure that each unit of work builds upon the key vocabulary that pupils already know.
- The monitoring and support needed for the planned curriculum to be delivered consistently are not yet fully established. Consequently, delivery of the planned curriculum is not as effective as it could be. The school should ensure that teaching and learning in all curriculum areas are high quality and gaps in pupils' knowledge are closed quickly.
