What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 15 November 2022
This a school where everyone is included. Leaders make sure that pupils feel valued and cared for. They are passionate about helping pupils to become well-rounded, empathetic citizens. Staff focus on knowing and supporting pupils and families. As a result, there are warm and open relationships. Pupils enjoy coming to school. They value the rich curriculum and purposeful planned events, such as visitors from different professions. Staff offer a variety of clubs to develop pupils' interests and talents. These include forest school and British Sign Language. Older pupils appreciate the opportunity to go on residential trips. Pupils' behaviour is very calm in classrooms and at social times. They have extremely positive attitudes to learning. Leaders promote the school's values, such as kindness, through assemblies and the curriculum. Staff help pupils to speak about their behaviour and support them to manage it. This is highly effective. Pupils say that bullying is rare, but they trust any member of staff to sort it out if it does happen. Parents speak very highly of the school. One said, 'This is an absolutely fantastic community school. Staff genuinely care for each and every one of the pupils and nothing is ever too much trouble.'
What the school should improve
- In some subjects where the curriculum is new, staff do not always identify when pupils have not understood or remembered core knowledge or concepts. Leaders should monitor the way that assessment is used to quickly identify when a pupil has forgotten or misunderstood key aspects of the curriculum.
