What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 5 December 2023
Pupils enjoy learning here because teachers are creative and make learning interesting. Pupils speak enthusiastically about the things they know and the cultural events they experience. They are friendly, polite and kind towards each other. Pupils appreciate the play equipment and organisation of activity zones in the playground. They play nicely and safely during playtimes. Leaders have high expectations of pupils and want pupils to achieve well. Pupils behave well. Staff teach pupils different ways to regulate their conduct. Pupils feel assured that adults address their concerns, once these have been shared. This helps with pupils being kept happy and safe here. Pupils value the opportunities to take on responsibilities. They are proud to contribute to the life of the school as house, French and eco-captains. The school provides a range of enrichment opportunities that develop pupils' talents and interests. Staff encourage pupils to develop high aspirations for themselves and their futures, for instance through school initiatives such as the 'brilliant club' and 'advantage' programme. Pupils get to visit prestigious universities to broaden their future options.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes, systems to check pupils' understanding during lessons are not precise. This means that some pupils are not fully secure in their understanding before teachers move on to new content. The school should ensure that all staff check pupils' understanding carefully and address any misconceptions so that pupils are fully prepared for future learning.
- In some subjects, the school does not have a clear oversight of checking the quality of teaching. This means that the implementation of the curriculum in these subjects is not fully secure. The school should make sure that it develops subject leaders' expertise and confidence in supporting teachers in implementing the curriculum effectively and consistently.
- In the early years, occasionally, children's vocabulary, language and communication are not developed precisely. This limits opportunities for some children to deepen their knowledge and understanding. The school should ensure that all adults develop high-quality interactions with children to strengthen children's communication and language skills.
