What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 20 June 2023

Staff, parents and carers describe this school as an 'oasis of calm'. Many pupils eat together at breakfast club, excited for the day ahead. Pupils have well-developed independent learning skills. They are keen do well in their lessons. Pupils are comfortable in using different resources, such as laptops and books, to help them learn. These skills allow them to make the most of the carefully planned lessons. Behaviour is exemplary. At break and lunchtime, pupils enjoy each other's company. They play well together, with mutual respect. This means that they can focus freely and enjoy the games they play and their free time. At the end of lunchtime, all pupils collect together in mixed-year 'circles'. Here, they reflect on their weekly themes or discuss an important topic. Pupils look forward to this shared experience. It helps ready them for their afternoon learning and strengthens their sense of community. Leaders prize positive relationships. They see these as the foundation to their school. Pupils understand this too. They say that one of the best things about their school is how caring and kind staff are. Pupils describe bullying as very unusual. They are confident that staff would deal with any incident quickly and effectively.

What the school should improve

  • Leaders' vision for the curriculum, in every subject, is not fully implemented. This means pupils do not yet achieve as well as they could across the full curriculum. Leaders should provide the further support staff require to embed the curriculum securely and consistently in every subject.
